- Reviews:Due to flight cancellations, I ended up being re-routed through Rapid City Regional Airport in South Dakota. This was my first ever trip there, and I have never visited a smaller airport than here. It has a total of 6-gates. There is one restaurant and one shop. I needed some food, so I purchased a chicken club wraps that was actually pretty decent. The staff was understaffed and over worked although they did try to deal with everyone respectfully. The food there is extremely expensive like a major city airport where my sandwich and fries with drink was $24. I could not see who was a bartender so I could not get a drink which was why they lost a star. When it came time to boarding the flight it was relatively smooth, and I was in/out of the airport in 2 1/2 hours on schedule. I would suggest that you do not rely on this airport for food and that you bring your food with you. I made that mistake and I needed something to eat. Other than that, I would at that it was a relatively pleasant experience all-in-all.By Ironman Triathlete (6 months ago)Rapid City is a relatively small airport. Very clean and well maintained. Quite easy to get in and out. Rental car drop off is within walking distance – literally just a few feet away. TSA staff are very friendly. Restaurant inside has reasonable selection and prices are not too bad.By K RV (a month ago)Super easy to go through, small, only 6 gates. Clean. It’s organized well and since it’s not a high volume airport, it has plenty of room to not feel overwhelmed with people. There is a food court area with to go food, packaged goods and a place to sit. From the security to the support people, everyone is super friendly. Not too many direct flights but Minneapolis is an hour flight away, so it’s a convenient connection hub.By Dessie Hristov (7 months ago)Arrived at RAP, I was surprised by the number of people in the departure area. Baggage claim was easy waited about 10 minutes for our bags. I would recommend for first time visitors to take the time to go out on the observation deck for the beautiful view. Nice gift shop and restaurant are available along with rental cars.By Daniel Werman (6 months ago)My flight to Denver was diverted for weather reasons and the staff at this airport was incredibly gracious. They dealt with a large completely full flight that doesn’t normally come into smaller regional airports. We were tired cranky and hungry. There was only ONE bartender who absolutely saved the day of the drinkers and people eating big shout out to that guy who stayed very late to serve all by himself! The rest of the crew ordered pizza for starving passengers and kids who were very cranky for obvious reasons. We would never have been treated this good at any other airport under the circumstances. Thank you guys and gals for staying for so many upset passengers during your busy season during Sturgis!!By Jay Pierce (5 months ago)

- Reviews:Very small airport but adequate facilities. TSA screeners were way too many for a one gate Airport. Passenger screening area very small and congested with TSA & their equipment. X-ray screener for luggage took a long time to start functioning properly: -(By Timothy McKee (3 months ago)Nice airport, a lot of amenities but physically big for moving around and to get from one end to the otherBy Jim Wagemann (2 months ago)Absolutely terrible. I would give them 0 stars if I could. Delta customer service was beyond terrible and simply rude. I was traveling with my infant son and have never had this level of unprofessionalism before. It took more than 30 mins to unsuccessfully print a boarding pass for us. It should never take this long. Unfortunately they are the only airline in Aberdeen.By Kelly Madden (7 months ago)Tiny little airport. Delta and it’s affiliates (SKY West)is the only carrier there.(as of 11/10/21 Don’t go to this airport early, a couple of snack machines, and restrooms are basically all you’ll find here. TSA check through was kind of comical. There were at least 6 agents all giving slightly different info as to how to proceed through the one single entry point, for the only outbound flight of the day. The good, you certainly don’t have to get your 5K marathon on to get around this airport.By Kurt Pedersen (a year ago)Very small services good and only vending machinesBy Alfonso Colmenares (a year ago)

Such a pleasure to catch a flight at this airport!By T F (3 years ago)Black people will get harassed an over searched. Experienced it first hand.

- Reviews:Easy to fly into. Easy to fly out. I do miss United being the primary carrier out of here. Now that Key Lime is here (and they’re not bad), checking in and dealing with anything United on the second leg of your flight is now more tedious. But that’s not really a PIR airport thing to ding. Pierre airport is a clean, easy to navigate airport with short check in times and quick and easy access to the one gate. As you probably guessed, this is a small airport with low traffic volume. There is no fee to park your car here if you happen to go out of town, saving you that expense. From the lobby to the gate and everything in between is up kept and it’s always a pleasure coming in and out of town.By Jeremy (6 months ago)Easily amongst the best small airports in the country. – Organized boarding – Friendly Staff – Cozy waiting areaBy Shikha Aakash (5 months ago)Very nice airport.By Quinci Contreras (2 months ago)Nice little airport. They do have coffee after security. Get the kcup from the vending machine.By Jeff Fillmore (7 months ago)Everyone at this airport is absolutely amazing! We were running late with a baby and super stressed out but they helped us every step of the way and got us on our flight. Love these people! Thank youBy Tragix 13 (a year ago)
