Very pleasant walking through this airport, at first I thought it was small🤔, but realized I was at the end (A39) and not the beginning🙂. Prepare to have yourself a walk, I had plenty of time for my flight departure. It got veryyyy busy (this was a Sunday), so give yourself lots of time from security to walking to your gate. They do have walking escalators which is super helpful if you have issues walking. Variety of eateries, places to sit and the coolest thing to me was the beautiful white rocking chairs paired with a live jazz pianist.😊🥰

Recommendations: Give yourself a little extra time between flights because they have some horizontal conveyors down, and construction going on. Food: plenty of common airport food and drink places. Pricey like every other airport. I paid 15$ for a croissant chicken salad sandwich. Service: Everyone was pleasant and they were all smiling. They had people actively cleaning around seating and the bathroom which is nice. Services: all kinds of services. You can get a shoe shine, and massage amongst other things. Building: The place is pretty big. May take a bit to get around. Not like Chicago or Las Vegas Bathroom: Clean but busy. Parking: plenty of parking. Notes: This is a nice airport. Besides the upgrades going on, I wasn’t inconvenienced at all. Hit the thumbs up and give me a follow. I’m trying to be relevant or something. It’s my only bragging rights.

Traveling through this airport was quite an experience, and I came away with mostly positive impressions. First and foremost, the sheer size of the airport stands out. It is truly a huge facility, and because of that, travelers should be prepared for long walks between check-in counters, gates, and baggage claim. On the positive side, the layout is generally well-marked with plenty of signs, so even though it’s spread out, it’s not confusing to navigate. One of the best aspects of this airport is the security process. Despite the volume of passengers, the lines move quickly and efficiently. I was pleasantly surprised by how short the wait times were, especially compared to other large airports where security can feel like the longest part of the journey. The staff were professional, attentive, and managed to keep the flow moving smoothly without making anyone feel rushed. Amenities throughout the airport also add to the overall comfort. There are plenty of seating areas, a decent selection of dining options, and charging stations conveniently located throughout the concourses. The restrooms were clean, which is always appreciated during travel. That being said, the long distances between gates might be a drawback for travelers with limited mobility or tight layovers. Anyone connecting flights should plan for extra time, as walking from one terminal to another can take longer than expected. Overall, though, the combination of efficient security, modern facilities, and a well-maintained environment makes this airport a solid choice for both domestic and international travel.

Large Airport but Needs Better Signage and Facilities- Arrived at Charlotte International Airport (CLT) on a business trip. The airport is very large and spacious, but it was extremely crowded even during a non-holiday period. I did appreciate the signature rocking chairs placed throughout the terminal — a nice touch that provides plenty of seating and a bit of Southern charm. However, the food prices were way over the top for what’s offered, and the directions to rental car check-in and pick-up areas were confusing. The signage definitely needs updating to make navigation easier for travelers unfamiliar with the airport. They also need more restrooms, the lines were long, especially right after passengers deplaned. Overall, CLT is a modern and busy hub, but it could greatly improve the traveler experience with clearer signage, better facilities, and more reasonable dining prices.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🛫🛫🛫🛫 Charlotte Douglas is one of the better large airports I’ve traveled through. It feels modern and high-tech, with plenty of screens, charging stations, and amenities that make connections easier. The terminals are clean and well laid out, with a good variety of food and coffee options. Wait times at security can get long during peak hours, but staff usually keep things moving. The airport is also undergoing a major expansion and modernization project to handle the surge in air travel as Charlotte and North Carolina continue to grow rapidly. The signature rocking chairs throughout add a unique Southern charm you don’t find elsewhere.
