Love this airport still... I always experience smooth and efficient security, friendly airline agents and Amy at the bar always serves with smiles... Even on a hectic Friday it's a great airport!- Trivia: You have landed in Nebraska, but will travel through Iowa as you drive out of the airport. It's an Iowa town (Carter Lake) stranded by a 1.25 mile shift of the river during an 1877 flood.Upvoted Mar 3
Rental car lot is under construction and has moved off-site. Free shuttles tho... But plan for that.Upvoted May 1
Jesse LittleAugust 8, 2014Great airport, good layout. Easy to get from TSA to all gates. Full TSA line which is great in the regional airports. Very clean and friendly staff.Upvoted 4 weeks ago
みちこSeptember 7, 2013Clean and modern commuter (small) airport. Rental car pick-up and drop-off was just located across the airport (10-min walk from our terminal?).
To my knowledge, this is the only airport with a butcher shop. Before taking off, make sure you take home brisket burgers and steaks.
Cassy L.January 2, 2012Always getting felt up, but at least it's always done with a smile. The TSA agents are always very friendly. It's the Midwestern charm.
Eppley is a nice little airport, very clean with a few decent places for a quick bite. TSA is extremely fast and there are plenty of places to sit inside the gates.
Buy Omaha Steaks (on both sides of the airport before security check point) as a souvenier. Will stay frozen 8 hours or so. Great surprise for loved ones. Super tasty.
OMA is a great (small) airport. Very rarely do I suffer delays or long lines at TSA. Food options are kind of lacking, but you can make due with Kracky Magees
You can get in and out pretty easily. Baggage claim is fast. And they sell Omaha steaks!!
Super small airport! You can get from the curb to your gate in under 5 minutes. Wish all airports were like this! 😅
Jill BSeptember 22, 2013Scooters has pretzels and hummus! So delicious if you need a yummy snack. :). Super easy to get through security Sunday afternoon also.
Although you can show up like 15 minutes before your flight and still make it, some airlines won't let you check in if it's within 30 minutes of takeoff.
Airport was designed and built before 9/11. So, shopping and dining options after TSA checkpoints are cramped and lacking. Just stay outside security until your flight is about to board.
Anna Couch-HiykelAugust 5, 2013Don't wear anything with sparkles and for heaven sakes don't wear hand lotion! If you do this they will take you into a little room and really pat you down!
Zac HarrisSeptember 25, 2014If you're a fan of Omaha Steaks Company, there is a booth right as you leave security where you can order anything you want to ship.
Sarah SchlengerOctober 14, 2019No way to move between terminals without exiting and re-entering security. Also the rental car pick up is new and nice but a good hike from security so prepare for the time it will take.
The rental car return exit is thru the passenger pickup/drop off at terminal. Keep driving and take the second left into a small entrance. I know it's weird!
If you somehow lost your id during your layover like I did, TSA will accept alternate proofs of id such as credit cards, prescription meds with address, other photo ids, MMS pic of expired ids, etc.
Don't forget a good book. There's a really nice bookstore (Hudson Booksellers) on the second floor with a great selection.
Greatest airport in US. Never more than a few minutes to get through security. Get TSA Pre-check if you don’t have it. It’s 2020 for god’s sake. 🤔
Plenty of food/drink options in Concourse B. Scooters, Godfathers Pizza, and pub. P
- Queena KouJune 16, 2015Use mobile check-in for your boarding passes and you'll fly right through. Otherwise, there aren't enough kiosks and the lines move slow. TSA agents are pretty friendly though!
- Omaha steaks outside the terminal - great deals. And if you buy, they give you ice packs and a bag to carry your steaks!
- If you're flying united make sure you check in at least 30 mins before the flight or they'll totally kick you off! Even if you're exactly 30 mins before!
Peter TseApril 23, 2015The Delta check in area has lots of great candy (even Twizzlers) for you to take :)
TSA is so hit or miss here. Pre Check can be slower than the non pre check lane. Could be new employee training day. Could be the bitter woman who throws your luggage like she’s playing dodge ball.- My experience-- OMA is one of the best/easiest airports to travel through! Security is efficient, evening bartender is great, staff friendly!
- Kevin WrightDecember 15, 2014Currently staying overnight and i havent been bothered by security. However if you stay overnight, prepare for said security to gravitate toward you.
Scooters Coffee is the BEST in Omaha...grab a cup o Scooterdoodle before flight and you will take on the day :)
Kenneth SuenMarch 13, 2017Waited 40 mins for hotel shuttle, when only 8 mins drive Hilton Omaha on G Maps. No specific hotel pick up area. Winter time you either stay outside in the cold or inside & risk missing your shuttle.
Love flying out of OMA! Eat at The Hanger! Friendly waitresses and great food.
Union Pacific JobsFebruary 23, 2012Welcome to Omaha, and enjoy one of the fastest security lines in the country!
Everything is great about Eppley except the airlines themselves..Delta is the worst, the rest are tied for second worst...but Eppley itself, awesome...
Terri CarbaughMay 21, 2013If you are getting a rental car it's a million miles to go pick it up, however, if you as they will bring it around for you!
Print your boarding pass (or use a mobile pass) and bypass checkin. Security line usually takes 15 minutes tops--even when busy.
If you are waiting for your southwest flight you should try and score one of the nice chairs to relax in.
Raymon RiveraJuly 20, 2014Easiest airport to go through. Got here about half an hour early and had to drop off rental car but still made it through security with 15 min. To spare
Free jump start if your vehicle won't start, :( and a friendly face to jump it for you :) Thanks
Delta, Continental and United now offer mobile boarding passes for Flights out of Omaha. Save paper and look cool in the process.
Daniel ParrottaJune 29, 2012Kracky McGees near A4 -> Great food, good prices, friendly staff (try the carrot cake).
Luke JohnsonJanuary 22, 2017Nonstop flights to Charlotte. Quaint little airport. Have loved my two experiences here.
- If TSA tries to steal your shit (i.e. knives, liquids over 4 ounces) you can always mail it to yourself. The gift shop has postage and envelopes for just such an occasion
Most over zealous TSA I have ever seen. Every time I have been there someone is being groped extensively, including children.
Daniel TewfikMarch 19, 2013OMAHA! While you're waiting for your flight attendant to tell you to put your mobile device away, read this infographic to explain why you have to: Read more
Guess what! You're in the middle of the country it won't take you that long to get where you are going here in the good ol US!!
Edgar ReyesMay 8, 2013@ The North food court before entering the gates get a Philly cheese. It's pretty delicious!
