Plattsburgh International Airport

I’ve been through this airport several times and accept it for what it is, a small airport with limited services and as a result ticket prices are lower. I have flown with Allegiant several times without incident.
This week attempted to take my daughter with our grand children to FL for some family time at the beach. Arrived a bit late (30 min before departure), and we were turned away saying we missed our flight. No attempt to resolve the issue or re-​book us. They seemed to enjoy teaching us a lesson for being late. Up until this weekend I thought Allegiant and the Plattsburg airport were a great asset. We recently purchased a condo in FL and anticipated regular travel through Plattsburg for all 7 members of our family.
Many reading this will think, hey just get to the airport earlier. I get it. But can anyone honestly say that due to circumstances out of your control, you’ve never been a bit late for an event. Is this the kind of people you want to meet when this happens. Just trying to save someone else this nightmare.
They’ve lost our business. Maybe you should try some other mode of travel

Small airport, only one gate! There aren’t many airlines that fly through here but it was cheaper to fly in and out of here than it would have been for Montréal, Burlington or other nearby airports. The people are friendly, the place is clean and they were good at handling the winter weather. Not a lot of options as far as food goes so eat first!

Teeny-​tiny airport in waaayyyy upstate New York. I think it is only an international airport because they do flights to Canada… but I kind of consider Plattsburgh Canada to begin with. I’ve flown in and out of here a few times because they offer direct flights to and from ft lauderdale through Spirit and Allegiant (though I think they may be seasonal. There are very few flights and very few gates so security is always a breeze. Be warned however, in therms of services this airport doesn’t really offer much in the way of food or drink. I think I saw a vending machine.

This is a great facility if you can get the flights you want on the days you are coming and going. We have flown To South Carolina twice, and Florida twice.
Bilingual courteous staff. these are big jets flying on Allegiant and Spirit. Parking five dollars a day. Worth the commute from Ottawa

The bad about this airport: This is a small airport with very little plane service to very few destinations. There is nothing there. No coffee place or anything to pass time while you are waiting for people to arrive.
The good about this airport: This is a small airport and if you have plane service to the destination you want (example to Florida with Allegiant) then the prices may be very low. Arriving and leaving the airport is a breeze, no traffic, no hassle. Plus the parking is free for up to two hours which is nice if you are dropping off or picking up friends.
