I really love this airport! The best thing about it is how small and easy it is to use. Access is simple, there are no long lines, and you don’t have to deal with big crowds. The atmosphere is calm and stress-free, which makes traveling so much more enjoyable compared to larger airports where everyone seems rushed and aggravated. It’s definitely one of my favorite airport experiences.

Simple little airport just east of St. Louis. Mo plenty of parking with the first 3 hours free quick and fast-through check-in and tsa only 5 gates. They do have a restaurant , bar,and a snack/ Souvenir stand.

And that’s the way it is—at MidAmerica St. Louis Airport. Nestled in the heartland, just east of the Mississippi and a stone’s throw from Scott Air Force Base, MidAmerica Airport is a quiet triumph of accessibility, efficiency, and good Midwestern sense. In an age of sprawling terminals and endless security lines, this airport offers a reminder that air travel need not be an ordeal. The parking is plentiful and—believe it or not—free. The lines are short, the signage clear, and the staff, well, they greet you with a smile and a sincerity that harks back to a different time in aviation. If you arrive early, as I tend to do, you’ll find the waiting area clean and peaceful, with just enough hustle to remind you that you’re going somewhere, without the chaos of a cattle call. MidAmerica might not be the busiest airport in the country, nor the flashiest, but it fulfills its mission with grace and dependability. It connects families, serves our servicemen and women, and gives folks in Southern Illinois and Greater St. Louis a welcome alternative to the fray. And so, from a traveler who has seen his fair share of terminals from coast to coast, I say this: if your journey begins or ends at MidAmerica St. Louis Airport, you’re in capable hands. This is Walter Cronkite—well, not really—but that’s the way it is.

What a great gem of an airport! Clean, efficient, and refreshingly friendly customer service. Highly recommend. The only thing they need to figure out is their parking ticket stubs. After a long flight it was easy to get my checked bag and head to my car, but when I got to the gate to pay for parking, it wouldn’t let me through. Apparently this is very common because they choose to have printer ink on parking stubs that fade if exposed to the sun on your dash for a few days. Apparently, this is so common that they have a dedicated area where you have to come back into the airport and pay for parking?!? Their stubs ink fades after a few days in the sun if u can believe that. Inconvenient! If they fix this, it’s a 5 star airport.

The airport staff went above and beyond when I left my wallet in a locked a rental car. The rental facility isn't staffed during the day and I dropped the key in the deposit box. The airport staff and TSA worked to get me through security and were going to ship my wallet back but right before the door closed they brought my billfold to me on the plane. Great service is becoming more rare these days but the staff at this airport and TSA went above and beyond. I appreciate it!!!
