Beautiful and best small domestic US airport.
Worst airport ever. Still waiting to get off our flight for 45 minutes because they couldnt open another gate
We have been stuck on a the plane for over an hour after landing and we are still stuck. There is no gate for us to pull up to. The only update we are getting is that they hope a gate will open up for us soon. No one knows why we have not been able to get off the plane yet. The passengers have spoken to the staff and called the airport and no one is helping.
Luv this Airport...everyone friendly..courteous...fast...convenient for Long Island passengers...close to my home...Better than JFK n La Guardia...
Highly convenient if you are mainly traveling to Long Island. No long security line. No rush. Smooth check in and security. Only few airlines use this airport. Frontier Airline has many online deals with cheaper tickets. You don’t get any city traffic (as in case of JFK and LaGuardia). You can rent a car or can take cab/uber.
This is the worst airport I think one could ever use been here 2 days for them to review my medical report when the doctor brought me here herself and cleared me to fly and I was on a budget but now Ive not eaten. In two days and these people just think that everyone must have money for then to detain you for 2.days and it dont take two days to review a medical report if I end back up in that dam hospital because of these ignorant people thjs airline will be Sewed
Surprisingly larger than I expected. Frontier airlines Gates are all the way in the back. Just keep on walking. The gate seats have no built-in arm rests so they are prefect for taking a quick nap. Long term parking is available. This airport is not walking distance from the Ronkonkoma train station. Grab a $20 train into NYC from the closest train station in Ronkonkoma
Great airport! Easy drop off. Pulled right up. Line to get service was fast and friendly. Security was a breeze. Clean and overall one of the best small airports I’ve been to!
Frontier ran very late. The TSA workers were very nice,but the rep at the door started yelling at us as soon as we got to the gate. When I tried to explain our specific situation she really put me on blast.Also, the chair staff refuse to wheelchair me down. Disabled or not! They wouldnt even call another wheeler. ISP is hiring minimally intelligent staff to their discredit.
Great little airport. Although the gates where frontier boards is disgusting and old. Bad ventilation, freeze in the winter, roast in the summer. Bathrooms need a renovation... This entire end of the airport is very old. Southwest has the nicest gate areas.The restaurant situation at this airport is almost non existent. There is a bar with food and then there is Starbucks, a bagel type store and then a few closed up restaurants. Pizza closed. Fridays closed. I think it was A &W , theyre gone also. Empty restaurants and stores for years. The gift shops here and the sundry stores are really in bad shape. The airport really needs a bit of a boost to compare favorably with better established small airports.
Small, easy to navigate. Cant really get it wrong but it can get crowded when theres multiple flights going out. Do wish more airlines were able to fly out of this airport, though! Kind of a catch-22 there. Has a Starbucks and some odd stores, but what you can expect in an airport.
The airport was fine but the line to check luggage and get ticket for Frontier took around 50 minutes. There was only 2 people for check in. Security was fast and wheel chair was about 10 minute wait but i had to stand on line for that long.
*Horrendous* customer service. Every employee I’ve come in contact with here have been rude and just unfriendly. I had my flight cancelled after spending 7 hours here yesterday, they were nasty to me then too, and I had to come back at 5am this morning for a 7:16 am rescheduled flight. I get that it’s early and everybody is tired but that’s part of the job when you work with the public and kindness goes a long way. This place is a joke and the employees don’t care about you at all.
This airport caters to the rich. It operates at 100% during the summer and less so throughout the rest of the year. While the closest LIRR station is about 10 minutes away, you are on your own getting there. Which is an incredible joke.
If I could take all my flight out of MacArthur, I would. Easy in, easy out, easy parking. Come on, Delta, American, JetBlu...come here with more flights.
Quite simply, the best airport in the New York metro area for non-stop service to Florida. For other domestic destinations, I still prefer MacArthur over the other major New York City airports. Id rather change planes in Baltimore or Philadelphia than deal with the hassle and congestion of the other major New York airports. JFK and LGA are disgusting and way overcrowded. MacArthur is a pleasure. Thats not to say that I wouldnt like better flight choices and more airlines there in the future.
Flying into this airport in the evening is like landing on the surface of the moon. Dont expect Uber, Lyft, a taxi or the hotel shuttle to pick you up from the airport unless you wait 45+ minutes to get to your hotel thats only 10 minutes away. Next time I will just fly into LaGuardia where there is civilization and transportation options.
Decent little airport, desperately needs more food options at the A gates. Great American Bagel & Panini and Maggie OSheas are incredibly overpriced combined with inferior food. Getting through security was pretty quick and easy on a Monday afternoon.
The airport is great however the long term parking is completely shady. It says everywhere that they charge $17 per day including tax but we were charged $220 for 9 days without explanation. They tried to say that it was because we were on short term parking but they are interconnected, then they tried to say it was because of taxes which didnt make any sense since $17 per day includes tax. Check what they charge you when you leave the airport!
I found this airport to be excellent it was a very needed change from the larger airports. In fact I prefer it the other airports leave me frazzled due to their largeness and quantity of people traveling.In the future Ill try to go there when visiting my parents.
Quick and convenient, 5 stars if they turned off the awful music they were playing through the loudspeakers in the pickup/drop off area. I would drive to JFK just to avoid having to hear that garbage in the future
Clean, smaller airport. Very rigid check point. Or maybe I looked like I had a gun. Body scanned..OK. Body search and fingers swabed for gunpowder. I thought seriously..but went through it..wondering how some others that looked suspicious 🤔 went through with no gunpowder swab? Traveling..random acts of pat down..
I am looking at the answers to the parking questions. It is $14.00 per 24 hours in the economy parking lot with a shuttle to the terminal beginning at 4:00 or 4:30 a.m. I absolutely love this airport. The people are friendly, it is much more convenient than La Guardia or JFK, less traffic, and there are several airlines that fly out of there, especially Southwest, which is the best.
So convenient! I cant stand flying into LaGuardia its a nightmare! Frontier flies right into MacArthur, 15 minutes away from my family. No traffic, no construction, easy peasy!
Great spot to view USAF Thunderbirds
Employees in all areas are friendly and helpful. Social distancing is easily achieved, boarding is orderly and safe. Always a pleasure to use this airport.
Best Airport in NY & all States in my opinion. Fast check in and TSA no attitude.😎😁👍Fl here we come
Suffolk residents are fortunate to be able to fly without having to endure Kennedy or Laguardia. Town of Islip does a good job.
This airport is very small unlike LA Guardia or JFK. Arrival and departure is in the same location. It is easy to navigate in-and-out. Social distances implemented and it is a very clean and sanitary airport.
A short ride from NYC. This airport offers shorter security lines and overall simplicity. The food options are slim but tasty. The Frontier Airlines gates are the most distant from the security line. Ive used this airport on 2 occasions, utilizing the available long term parking.
Terrible experience. The lady at the southwest desk that checked me in due to kiosks not being open was extremely rude and unprofessional. The lady at the security line was the same way. I even greeted everyone I came in contact with and was respectful so I dont understand why the customer service was terrible. Im very upset with the way I was treated for absolutely no reason. Definitely makes me not want to use this airport again and will make sure everyone knows about the experience I had.
Nice airport, I get through security quickly. Also, they have nonstop flights to Tampa via Southwest airlines.
This is a great airport. I have had great experience. This has only happened to me once my flight had gotten canceled or delayed for a long time or something like that and da staff was so kind enough to just let my mom and i go home (about 20min). The next day when we came back everything was on target we got to our flight and still had plenty of time to catch my connecting flight to Knoxville TN. Overall this is a great airport i definitely recommend this airport to everyone!!!!
I have flown through this airport two times in my life (both Frontier flight)The first time happened 2-3 years ago I along with my Dad & my younger brother moving to Florida (the flights were booked, cats had went to the vet the morning before).My Dad gets a notification the day before we fly out and our flight was delayed due to crew call-in possibly from a Halloween party (it was the 30th).Didn’t matter to me so we get to the airport and we get to the TSA checkpoint (bless their hearts) they loved my two cats (they had to come out of their cat carriers).Some of the TSA agents did a little pet to my cats and absolutely made them calm (even though we had to give the cats vet prescribed drugs so they wouldn’t be to noisy on the plane)Everything went smoothly after that.The second time (June 2019)Went smoothly I flew from Tampa and had a nice walk from one end of the airport to the other.
I take off from here its fast and easy to find your wa around. If you live in the island best place inside of driving to Queens. Lots of parking spaces. Over all good place to fly from. Clean and fast and convenient when being picked up from the airport.
Convenient. Easy to process through TSA. No long lines to navigate. Friendly, welcoming personnel throughout the terminal. Recommended.
Picked up my Mom last night at 9pm and it was so easy. Parked right outside. Wish they had more direct flights.
Long Island Magotha airport is the best airport in the United States of America it’s the only airport that you don’t have to wait for anything or car rental services are right available at the counter easy parking no wait time love the place Anthony from New York
Southwest is the main carrier out of LIMA. Frontier and American also fly out of ISP. These same carriers also have flights out of LaGuardia but if you live somewhere between these two, I think youd be crazy not to use ISP. Plenty of parking, small TSA security lines and a short walk to the arrival and departure gates. Not many places to grab a bite, so eat before you leave home!
Interesting arrangement... We all know you can’t take liquids through security. A public establishment and there are no working water fountains inside if the security area. The only water fountain inside of security is out of order. Here’s the catch, $4.69+tax for a small bottle (16.9 oz/500 ml) of water! Freshen up before you go through security. Admin says that is the only working water fountain at the airport.
This is the first time Ive been to this airport and I travel ALOT so Ive seen many different airports. This is probably the worst experience of my life. I arrived 2 hours before and they said check in was closed and that I had to run to get past TSA. When I get to the gate. They said well you should have been here earlier and its your fault and that they shouldnt even let me on the plane... Ive never had this kind of experience. Ill think twice before I come here again
I’ve never had any issues at this airport and I’ve been flying my entire life through Islip. During my recent trip , the TSA staff were SO NASTY AND DISRESPECTFUL. There were SEVERAL TSA staff members that were just so rude and nasty to myself, and my family. I flew on 10/13/19 mid afternoon. During one of the incidences, my mother was trying to make conversation with one of the male TSA just explaining how different MCO airport had differed from ISP. His response was “I don’t care about Orlando airport” and totally dismissed her conversation. It was just one thing after another with multiple TSA staff. Their attitudes and nasty sarcasm just really disgusted my family. Wasn’t a pleasant experience at all.
Not enough employees. Had a 4:55pm Frontier flight Monday April 30th with a TSA prechecked boarding pass in my mobile phone and no baggage to check; so I get there at 4pm to find the TSA precheck line closed and approximately 60 people on line with ONE security liune open and all mioving at a snails pace. I start mouthing off since Im gonna miss my flight at this rate and they finally open the TSA precheck line.after 20 mins of stressing out on the slow line. Plus the employee who I showed my irritation to didnt even bother to let me know when he opened the line .I was told by other irritated passengers who agreed with my frustration. Everyone was working as quickly as they could but there was not enough of them to handle all the passengers. Dont they know by purchases how many to expect? Looks like poor management to me.
Absolutely Terrible flight was 6 hours late.No accommodations and no offers to stay the night and travel in the morning.Southwest is a terrible airline.
Can’t wait to go back and get my pilot license!
Best airport so easy and parking was a breeze, the restaurant in the main area is closed but thats okay
Always a pleasure. To the gate in less than 10 minutes. Friendly staff all the way around. Gladly pay the slight bump in airfare to avoid the city airports and eliminate the commute.
Love this place cause I can get in quick, easy parking and few people are usually in line so it is a quick in and out process. Hate this place too because so few people travel through here, they are a mess when they have to handle a larger (not large, just larger) crowd.I travelled through this airport on Wed, Oct 17th and stood in the TSA Pre Security check-in line. When I almost got to security, I got an email and text alert that my flight was delayed, so I figured I would leave the line and take a work conference call, then go through the TSA Pre Security line again since it was much shorter than the regular line. After about 30 minutes, I figured I better get back in line. I went to the TSA Pre line, but airport security decided to close that line so I had to go and wait in the regular line and it WAS LONG! The regular line was so long, it extended past the roped off entrance. Why would they close off the TSA Pre Security line when the regular line is extra long? It makes no sense. All the while, I saw plenty of TSA security personnel walking around, talking to each other and generally not so busy that 1 person could not walk over and tend to the TSA Pre Security Line. 40 minutes later, I finally passed through security. Anyone going through this airport knows that 40 minutes through their security line is ridiculous.Get it together Long Island MacArthur Airport security! I know you will not do anything, but I thought people should know that airport security here is unpredictable and they better plan for it.
Love this airport. Much better than going to La Guardia or JFK. Never packed with people.
Make sure if your taking an evening flight that you eat before heading to the airport. This was my first time at this airport and I was running a little late, so I did not eat dinner. Boy! I wish I did, food court NOT opened, not even a coffee shop. It’s a very small airport so when you arrive two hours before your flight, there isn’t anything to do. Make sure you download Netflix movies. TSA workers not nice.
I use the premises only for the car rental pickup & dropoff. And Ive had a positive experience everytime with the staff as well as the functionality of premises facilities. This review only pertains to this part of the airport facilities. Hopefully it helps. 🙏🏻🙇🏻👍🏻😊
This was my first time flying out of ISP, and the ease and convenience it provides for people in the area is unparalleled. Check in was a breeze, and I have never before boarded a flight so effortlessly. I will go out of my way, and pay a little extra to fly out of here in the future.
The worse airport Ive ever been too. Too many people working TSA, horrible food options. Flight delayed, staff take too long to board, didnt count right, recounted on the plane. Everyone missed their flight. This is just laughable. OMG Ill never go here again.
Loved our experience here and cool airport to explore hours before you flight
ISP is by far the best airport in the NY metropolitan area! Flying out of here is the most hassle free experience because TSA lines are never too long nor gates far away.Additionally, Village Taxi offers a $5 flat rate for each passenger traveling between ISP and the Ronkonkoma LIRR Station. It makes the airport very accessible from places like NYC.The one downside is that their destinations are quite limited aside from cities in Florida. Nevertheless, I really hope they can add more domestic destinations in the future.
Excellent location, food court is adequate. Line is never long.Usually no TSA line they give you a slip as to not have to take off shoes.Overall a great lil local airport.
Monday afternoon and headed back to Florida. Great small Regional Airport to fly into and out of, especially if youre staying on Long Island
Small airport, very few flights which is great. About half of the TSA agents were very snippy (the other half were extremely professional). Plenty of shops & food places. Only thing is they close everything super early.
Its good airport to travel from. Very convenient for eastern Long Island folks. American airline should drop the prices like LGA and JFK to make it more suitable for people. Southwest does its part when it comes to Florida destinations.
Ive walked up and down this tiny airport and theres not a single water fountain. They prefer you spend money and dump more plastic bottles into the great south bay apparently. awful!
My flight was just cancelled 1 hour before departure with American Airlines. I took half a day off of work. My brothers rehearsal for his wedding it tomorrow at 10 am and my new flight wont be getting in until 2pm. When i asked the representative why the flight was cancelled she said due to heavy traffic which sounds like poor planning to me. When i said if they have any CSAT policies she said whats that? I explained that it is customer satisfaction. She said yes, we are booking you on a flight tomorrow for free. This has been a poor experience for me and a well deserved 1 star.
Very easy and smooth flight back to North Carolina, the plane was clean and organized as well.
This airport is also called Islip Airport because its located in Islip in Long Island.Very nice airport. At one point this airport was busy and it was expanded because there was many airlines using it to travel to NY.Many of the airlines were acquired consolidated under a bigger airline carriers. Also few of the airlines stopped flying to this airport.Its very sad to see this airport not working at even its half capacity.If youre heading to Long Island this should be your target airport as its very convenient and easy to use and faster to get to.
A few years ago we stopped coming to ISP because the non-stop flights were higher price than LGA. We found out that Frontier flies direct to ATL and were pleasantly surprised by the low cost. But the main reason we will come is the great fast service, convenience to eastern Long Island, and not dealing with the hassles at LGA again. Would love it if Southwest had ATL non-stops, it was a long layover earlier this year with them.Very modern Airport, good wheelchair assistance for family member on last trip. Most car rental choices good. An updated food court would be a welcome bonus but still 5 stars for the service and no hassles at security.
I left my tennis raquets in the overhead bin last night on the plane. Came back today to ask around. Frontier had no one at the desk yet but the Police Officers wee there. Officer Burns went above and beyond. He took my # and actually went to the gate and spoke to someone and got our raquets off the plane. So happy he was working today and went above and beyond for us.
Small, convenient airport. Works really well for me to get from Tampa to NY. The airport isn’t huge so it doesn’t take forever to get to your gate. The only negative is how long it takes to get your bags at the baggage claim. Maybe as much time it takes to get from ny to florida lol.
Ugh! Worst. Firstly, I am traveling with 4 children (9,5,3 and 2 years old), Frontier doesnt serve anything for free so I walked with a bottle and half of water which was taken away from me at TSA even though I explained that I need it for my children. The water bottles werent even open, i asked if he can test it and he said no. A little while after i saw another TSA agent test a bottle of water for someone else. Ridiculous! The bathrooms in the terminal are small and dirty, doesnt have seat covers and just old. Horrible experience.
Small but efficient airport. Connects passengers to wider network of airports and other destinations. Primarily used by Southwest and Frontier Airlines.
They dont open on time and we know at least one of the security guys cant tell time. He yells at the people who are lined up in the TSA line We open at 4! as he walks by a clock that says 4:05...He makes everyone walk back out of the line. He was unnecessarily rude. Only reason you would want to use this airport is its cheaper to fly into and a little less crowded than the others.
Awesome, airport, one of the least time consuming airport i have ever flown into. My Apartment was 5 mins away from the airport and had a year parking pass for the airport parking. From parking to gate it took me roughly 20 mins every time i fly out of that airport, if you think you have time on your hand when your flying in check the flight options to this airport, also the LIRR is 10 mins uber ride from the airport, just take train right to Penn station, train every 60 mins.
Was great. Everyone friendly. Clean. Organized. Well lit and signed well for new visitors.Sorry the gift shop always seems to be closed though.
Its great little airport, very easy to get through... Just dont try taking Village Taxi there from the railroad station. These drivers want to make money - they could care less if you miss your flight. Islip should be embarrassed to subsidise their operation.
Small airport, a little over an hour from Penn Station to the nearby Ronkonkoma Train. TSA was incredibly pleasant during the check in - reminds you of a more simpler time when flying.The only reason why this place doesn’t deserve a 5 star is because every food/shopping option closes here at 6pm.Fun Fact - Someone told me that there used to be a TGI Friday’s here but had to be shut down because of the numerous complaints of people having way too many drinks.Not to say that’s the only reason why it’s dead here, but I can believe some variation of that.
Security is slow and inefficient. Show up early. They have two lines—one has 300 people waiting in it and the other (TSA pre check) has one person every 45 minutes. They must not notice how inefficient this is. Result is a long wait with all the kids going to see Mickey.
Horrible food selection: only microwaved
Great airport with no flights. Southwest screwed all of central and eastern Long Island by pulling almost EVERYTHING out of this airport. There were enormous upgrades made for Southwest which moved to LaGuardia, a decrepit third world facility that is horrible to get in and out of. There are a total of 24 flights a day at Islip now, inbound and outbound combined while LGA and JFK are overcrowded. I miss the 2000s when you could catch numerous flights to Chicago and elsewhere out of ISP.
Small but comfortable airport, nice crew in all places and really polite people.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT FLY FRONTIER AIRLINES. I haven’t even gotten to the gate yet and I’m pissed off at the extreme incompetence of this airline. They do not care at all about you or your experience. They charge you for everything. They tried to charge me for a seat selection TWICE!!Yesterday I showed up no more than 5 mins after my family did to wait at the counter for 20Mins while there were no employees to be found to check me in. This resulted in me missing the flight. They tried to tell me that they don’t let anyone in after 45 mins before the flight. THIS WAS A FLAT OUT LIE! I then indicated to them that my family is on the flight and just arrived at the gate at 3:40 for a 3:50 flight. Their face dropped because they knew I caught them in a lie.Now today I’m at the airport yet again waiting for their employees to actually do something. And yet again with the lies. I was here at 12:45 waiting for someone to show up. When they came out I was asked “what’s the issue?” Really? What’s the issue? This is how you speak to someone who hasn’t said anything yet? Then I was told 1:15 is when they check people in. The representative the day prior they check people in 6 hours prior. So I wait. And I wait. Then I find out they don’t even do anything until 1:50. Nice so now the line is increasing and no one is saying anything or coming out to communicate to anyone. A woman asked the frontier rep came out to smoke a cigarette outside about what’s going on. She told her about this insane policy of not checking anyone in until 2 hours before the flight and said that she said it twice. ANOTHER LIE!!! I then said, “ you are a liar. I’ve been here for over an hour and NO ONE came out.” She just looked at me and her face dropped realizing that I caught her and just scurried away.I tried to check in online and they tried to charge me for my seat selection AGAIN!! I paid for it yesterday!! This experience just keeps getting better!I’m waiting and sitting down because I have an injury on my feet and I can’t stand for the exorbitant amount of time that they expect you too. The line has become insane because these employees are incompetent. They treat people like cattle and not like human beings. The line was out the door and now it’s down the hallway!I went to the bathroom and came back and the line is still insane. What is wrong with them. The employees are in the office the whole time this huge line is there but they refuse to work because of “company policy.”Do not fly them. I’m following up with complaints to every entity that I can find. I believe that they are scamming their customers.
*PUT MORE FLIGHTS THROUGH THIS AIRPORT* They have the space to add another airline and more flights/destinations.Way better than flying out of any of the 3 major airports serving NYC.
Great smaller airport. Everyone friendly. No hassel like the bigger airports. Food court good. Pizza great at Islip Pizza by Southwest airlines.
Superb airport! Easy in/easy out. Wish the airlines would service more outbound areas, but for now, it is what it is.
Best local airport ever. Used to have more flights out.
The woman at the American airlines with blonde hair and the bad tan gave me such an attitude and disrespect because I arrived 2 minutes late . I didnt need it knowing my whole business trip was ruined and I couldnt attend it anymore . I had to reschedule for NEXT MONTH. How about working on your employees attitude towards customers along with other convenient things. Thanks.
Best Airport.... Clean, quick, convenient... Just wish they had more airlines to choose from....
Small regional type of airport that offers a nice variety of airlines and destinations in spite of its size. A welcome relaxing atmosphere compared to the majors JFK and LGA.
The airport itself is great but the the local staff is horrible to deal with. Not sure if because its early in the morning or what but extremely rude with no sense of service.
Small airport where you can fly almost anywhere in the USA. Food court small and could use more variety of foods. Airline information signage is not good because of using small signs, they could improve on this.
5 stars for Karina w AA alone! Small and clean airport, quick and efficient.
Really couldnt ask for more. Feels like taking a bus and security is always a breeze with little to no lines and close proximity to the gates. This has been my secret hub for many years for a hop, skip, and jump to FLL on any given weekend whether planned or last min. Best part is I usually get a great fare to boot!!
Best small airport. Not a ton of flights or airlines, but if you do get a flight out of here, it is very easy. Easy to navigate, short security lines, clean.
They really need better takeout food options at the gates. Having to get food at Starbucks for a long flight isnt fun, and with the food options on planes nowadays, you need to bring your own food.
If you live on Long Island you know theres nothing more convenient than this airport. Wish Jetblue would finally make the arrival here. But Southwest is great too!
TSA here is horrible, rude and slow. Im certain theyre racist, I asked for a pat down (aka opt out), I had to wait over 20 mins on the side. Then, I was called by a white guy, who just started at me and disrespectfully curled his finger at me, gesturing to come. He then proceeded to explain the pat down process, zipping through it in an incoherent manner and wouldnt make eye contact. TSA complaints are long and numerous over a span of many years, just add this to the list.
Great airport. I frequently use this airport and always have a good experience. The restaurants and other food choices that are available were a good value as well.
TSA lines arent long, various options for food inside, very clean, have not experienced delays here, close to train, good alternative to delay-ridden Kennedy and LaGuardia airport.
Horrible i booked first clas AA i fet my confirmation and it says operated vy jetblue i call AA they say call jetbkue jetbkue says call AA
Easy to get around, friendly employees, parking close to terminal. My 1st choice in air travel when possible.
They did a good job of De using the plane before we left in a snowstorm. Got us safely to FL.
All airports should be this efficient & professional. Its clean, there is food available for purchase and short lines. Love ISP!
This airport is so easy! No long waits at security. Just no long lines anywhere!
Knowledgeable and friendly staff who are willing to help. My favorite airport when going to NY.
Great small airport yet upgraded and modern. I love the views during climb outs and landings too! Dont tell anyone else about this airport, I want to keep it a secret.
This is a terrific regional airport. Love flying into Mac Arthur instead of La Guardia or JFK. So convenient!
Small airport in the middle of no where. May be a good option if you are visiting the hamptons or long island vineyards, but otherwise its far from the new york city. This airport is local, so not that many gates and cant really get lost, unlike La Guardia or JFK nearby. At the same time, its hard to find cheap tickets (they are typically more expensive that tickets to JFK or La Guardia) and will most likely have to fly with a transfer. Not many snack options in the waiting area either. Overall, if you want quiet, this is the airport to use for travels out of eastern long island area.
Nice airport with no headache of any traffic and best deals from aitline.
Last spring I went to mets spring training on southwest from here. Very small, no security lines, and ok food. Parking is AMAZING. When i parked, I got a spot right in front of the baggage claim.
Why is the airport like 90 deg 5/17/31, everyone is complaining how hot it is . Flying is back please turn the air on !
Great airport and super fast and no lines but tsa reps are full of bad attitude. all other employees are super nice and helpful
I love this airport, small well run and easy to get in and out. The staff is very helpful. Ahhhhhh NY!
Other than one TSA woman giving me a dirty stair( probably because I am wearing a Trump mask) lol
TSA Supervisor Tom Fitzpatrick confiscated a keychain pen laser pointer in the shape of a bullet under the guise of it being a replica weapon. A replica gun is a replica weapon, something shaped like a bullet is not a weapon. Even on his sheet there was a section for replica weapons and one for actual ammunition. No section for replica ammunition because its NOT A THING. An arrow without a bow is useless. I asked him multiple times to show me where this policy was printed and he said they were not obligated to share their policies with the public uhh what??? Told me to check the TSA website, which I did and its not there. I asked him if it is in fact there to please show me and he refused. It was just lazy entitled TSA workers trying to look like they were doing something productive other than stealing peoples things. What Pizza Hut were these bums fired from that made them free to take their job here?1/14/16 Update: flew through LGA, JFK, and CMH with it with no problem. Check your egos, ISP TSA agents.
One of my favorite airports easy to get through TSA
Easy to navigate, convenient little airport. Enjoyed my experience here.
We always prefer to fly in here rather than Kennedy or LaGuardia. Very easy in-easy out, clean and efficient.
Great in an out airport! the heck with JFK and LGA! the non stop Southwest flights to Tampa or Orlando are great! would be nice if JetBlue can be added to the airport.
Pleasant smooth & friendly. Worth a trip from Brooklyn.
Came here 12 times 10 times alone starting at the age of 5 also the shortest security lines you can get. This place deserves 5 stars.
Clean, efficient TSA. No issues. Limited food due to COVID.
A nice airport nice take off ISP MUST see!
Leave a little more time than you might be used to here for security. Since Frontier added its flights here they havent stepped up staffing. Also, no TSApre on Sundays.
It is always so easy to get in and out of this airport. Parking is easy and inexpensive. Too bad there are not more destinations accessible by direct flights.
Avoid ID office as much as possible. I couldn’t get a straight answer. And whatever happened to first come first serve? I was there almost 10 minutes and a TSA and Homeland Security agent came in and went right ahead of me. Very unprofessional!
Very smooth transition from exiting the airport. Quick easy. Will come here again
Great airport, no whistles blowing, easy in and out, too bad Southwest has it locked up, love to fly JetBlue so for the most part, I end up in crummy annoying JFK.
This airport is small and easy to get around in. Definitely easier and smoother then JFK.
Always quick and easy not like the other airports
Felt very safe, got right thru TSA and the airport was not crowded.
Always a positive experience. Prefer this airport to any other so far.
Great airport! So easy to fly to Fla from. Close to home, no hassles. Need another airline or 2 though.
Small, clean no long lines. I refuse to travel out of any other airports lol
Very friendly airport, clean , light traffic.. Will definitely fly in/ out again :)
The best airport by far! So easy and quick to travel from Long Island.
Nice local airport. Food choices are horrible and for some reason never have a TSA pre check line open
You have to love aspects of small airports...easy access out and in. Awesome. Friendly Avis and Southwest airline staff.
Easy airport in and out quickly I wish all the airports would like this
This is a great airport. Very convenient and safe from all of the experiences we have had here.
Lost my 1000 dollar googie sunglasses sunglasses 😎 sunglasses 😎 sunglasses 😎 sunglasses 😎 sunglasses 😎 sunglasses 😎 sunglasses sunglasses 😎 sunglasses and know one helped me my flight came in July 3o from Georgia arrived at 11am or 10 45 we were early so i guess i left them on plane i call security and they said call lost and found i call lost and found they gave me a number that just keep on ringing
Compair this Airport to the other two. Im gratful we have them, Its simple they care.You quickly relize.... NO: Human factory of lines.
Love this Airport! Wish l could fly out of here for all flights!
Easiest airport to pick up and drop off passengers.
Very nice and compact airport. I was in at gate in 8 minutes.
Great airport to escape Long Island... just not enough airlines and air planes... security is fast, almost like TSA pre-check.
I travel often and find the TSA agents at MacArthur to be arrogant, condescending and rude.
Great airport. I wish more airports were this efficient. I pay almost the same and avoid NYC airports completely.
Easy airport to fly in/out of. Always choose over JFK and LGA.
Great small airport, you cant get lost and everything is very efficient!
Small airport. Very small in comparison to nearby airports like JFK and LGA but still a nice asset to the area that makes eastern long island more accessible
Nice airport building, but few flight options. Beware the parking police! Theyre sneaky!
Used Sothwest terminal.. very clean great COVID safety precautions
Excellent airport. Love travels g from there!!
I always try to fly out of MacArthur if I can. Even a 1-hop flight seems like less bother than by going to JFK.
Finally took a flight from MacArthur and I plan on using it more often. It was a piece of cake to get to and lines were not bad at all!!
Great local airport, I just wish #americanairlines would do more flights out of here.
Worst worst the worst !!!! No communication between front and back !!!! Our bags made the flight but we did not !!! long line on check points and plains leave without at least 20 passengers and nobody can do nothing about anything !!! Never fly from MacArthur airport !!!
Easy in, easy out. Great to catch a flight to points south. Even with a limited selection of flights, it beats jfk/laguardia.
Nice and easy airport to get around. Very small and not crowded at least when I was there in October.
A gem of NY and the best way to fly into Long Island.
I forgot I had a water bottle in my bag, so they took it out. And I wanted to drink the water...but they drank it right in front of me. I was a bit sad, but its just water. Weird flex though.
Quick drop-off, easy to find the gates. No BS like LaGuardia
The airport is great.. easy to locate your terminal and the workers are pleasant and helpful.
Out of the other 3 airports on Long Island if its possible to fly out of MacArthur best decision you will ever make.
Clean airport. Easy to maneuver. Tsa was fast.
Nice employees, but I wish there were more food options inside the gafes. The pizza place they have there sucks.
Small, clean, and easy to navigate!Super friendly and helpful staff too.
Small great airport. Means convenience but limited did options. Its home to me
Very easy to find your lane departure and exit
I love MacArthur airport. Everything always goes smooth.
Great hometown airport
Staff at Budget rental where kind and helpful
This airport is almost never crowded!
Nice, you can get flights for anywhere in USA.....And get Uber on airport for pickup and drop off as well
Conveniently located and everything went smoothly and quickly. Airport was clean; no complaints.
Fast getting in and out of this airports security (under 20 minutes) and getting to and from the plane to parking. Impressive!
Nice and small airport.No rush like other NYC airports.
Quick boarding, it has a great view. easy to go somewhere with not so strict security procedures.
Quiet and calm. Very clean and not busy you get in and out.
Great Airport. Very Clean . Quiet place and the flights are always on time,
Its a small airport, its easy to get around, And its convenient to people living in eastern Long Island
Nice small airport with short security lines. More food choices needed.
If only jetblue left from MacArthur. Nice little airport.
Always being a good expirience, every time a travel to Long Island.
This airport is sooo racist. Once I went there and everyone stared at me. JFK and the LGA is better.
At 🚛 show
Not alot of foot traffic plus its way closer to where my mother lives
Bad waited for 2 hours then told i can bring my luggage on plain
Bathroom between B19 and B20 is dirty, with tiles missing, dirt on stall walls floors...around toliets. Really bad.
Why the hell is the AC blasting and fans turning when its 54 degrees outside?? Everyone in the building is freezing their asses off. Doesnt seem like the best use of funds.
This airport had a friendly atmosphere, and workers were helpful.
Easy doings, pull in pick up and your gone !! Whats better ?

2022-05-08This is hands down the calmest airport I’ve ever been to!. It’s quick, no long lines at tsa, you won’t have trouble getting dropped off directly at the entrance. As soon as you walk in you will see all airlines, it’s pretty hard to get lost there. Highly recommend flying out of this airport if you don’t like the fast paced over crowded airports. It was actually cheaper to fly from here compared to the other airports.

2022-04-18Delayed flights. They also lie about when the doors actually close. The agents at the gate were rude. They were verbally aggressive with some people, and unwilling to help out some others.Its great that they dont have long lines, but youd still have to wait hours if you fly with Frontier.

2022-02-21I hope this airport gets more attention is very conveniently located in the middle of the island close to the Ronkonkoma train station. The lines are short and destinations are few however the airport is very well kept. Looking forward to to my next destination from this amazing Airport

2022-04-29I have used this airport many times before, but this last time I attempted to use Southwest airlines. To say my trip did not go well is an understatement! Southwest has stripped away any and all customer service. Wait times over phone are extremely long so I decided to use their phone App to book my flight. Well something went wrong with the phone application, and the wrong date got booked. Was it an app. error or human error I dont know, but I needed it fixed. I tried to get customer service on the phone, but the southwest personnel on the 1-800 number advised they have no ability to fix my issue they can only book reservations. I was directed to customer service online that only takes emails...no incoming calls. I am still fighting via 1-way email to get my money back or at least a flight credit. And this process is so slow so in the end I had to book my flight elsewhere for less. Southwest built their business on customer service, and now they have none. Buyer beware!

2022-05-17Bluepoint Restaurant Bar is a hidden gem inside MacArthur. If ur flight is delayed.. this is the place to be.. staff is awesome, food is great, the drinks are amazing
Review №9
2019-12-06The only redeeming quality about this airport is the fact that its small. If you land hungry and thirsty good luck, their only food is available for departing flights. No water fountains, no benches anywhere outside.... its like any places on LI, not well planned or developed. There are car rentals.

2022-01-09Everything was great, except for the fact they confiscated my military coins that I work so hard to get. Every opportunity Ive gotten to call them they dont have answers for me. Its not like one or two it was all of them. But at least they left me the bag they were in. I wasnt given any information that I cant have coins in my bag. Its very irritating and upsetting.
