I got through security 35 min before my flight but when I went to see what gate it was at I couldn’t find it anywhere. The computer monitor showed that the flight was on time but didn’t give the gate number. I walked from gate to gate but even at active gates there was no flight number posted. 15 min before takeoff, I started going to each gate asking which flight they were. Eventually I found it and made my flight. Flight and gate numbers really need to be posted.
TSA line was short and quick but was literally located as soon as you walked in the airport. Uber and Taxis both service the airport.
A decent little airport with full service (including Starbucks, Pizza Hut & bagels as well as a Texas gift shop), TSA is quick and courteous, however I have to take points away for the floors!! In a space where almost everyone is pulling a wheeled bag or two, the entire front outside is paved with pebble rock. Inside pre-security is all brickwork, and past security is carpet. None of it makes lugging a bag smooth. Also the WiFi is free but resets every time your phone screen turns off. Sit for 30 seconds and you have to reconnect. Rental cars are a decent walk down a hill (up if you’re returning) and there’s no shuttle if your flight is early am or gets in late.
Decent for a smaller town. They have a Starbucks, a Burger King, a Pizza Hut, a bagel and sandwich shop, a decent sized bar.
I traveled a lot on business for years, so you discover personalities of different airports. Lubbock Int'l is one of those smaller-market-obnoxious-TSA places. Not helpful, seemingly irritated staff, barking at passengers, treating people like they are dumb cattle. And imposing security guidelines that I've never seen at other airports. What has happened to the whole "Lubbock friendly" mindset that I knew when I lived there? Airport management needs to improve this or be fired, because there is no justification for it.
Small airport. Very easy to get around. Have food and last minute gift shops.
