Bellingham International Airport

Tiny (4 gates) yet functional airport. Much easier than dealing with Sea-tac.

It's so tiny and cute! However, it's perfect for the purpose I needed/will need. I know with Southwest running nonstops a couple times of day from Oakland/the Bay Area this airport will get a lot more traffic from people like myself who are visiting Vancouver or British Columbia.

Flight was great as always. Took off and arrived exactly in time. The airport priority staff, the TSA folks were fantastic, but the head Flight Attendant was rude, unfriendly, not helpful to a handicapped traveler. Shame on her!

Such a cute international airport. One plane every hour or so... Way too much parking, even a little half hour parking lot to wait, but most people park at the curb. Even has shuttle bus and a rare taxi.

This airport is very expensive to fly into. Double the price. Which is really stupid. They do not have jet bridges, and the terminal gates are extremely cramped when there is a full flight boarding. They really do not warrant the double price. The only plus was progressing through security quickly. They do not have the TSA precheck or Clear options either. My company just moved to Bellingham and living in Southern California, this airport is incredibly convenient. Flying to Seattle and driving to Bellingham makes the trip much longer and much cheaper. Very disappointing to not be able to fly direct.

This airport is so cute! The way that you board is a throwback to old times. I'll be sad when it gets big and crowded like all the others. Three days b4 Thanksgiving and it was practically empty. All of the employees (especially the lady at the coffee shop) were so friendly! As you can see the SW employees were getting ready for Christmas hanging decorations. Loved it!

Really like this airport! Landed and departed from this airport in July 2022 for our Southwest Airlines flight to/from Denver. We usually use SeaTac International Airport when we visit family/friends in Vancouver, but this airport gives SeaTac a good run for its money. Bellingham International Airport (BLI) is much smaller/compact, no huge crowds, and TSA/security was a breeze to get through - no long queues, no wait, no fuss. And they have TSA PreCheck too. There are only 5 gates, all at ground level, so you have to use a ramp to get on/off the plane, but it's all part of the fun of using a small airport. Luggage came out very quickly, and rentacar desks (Avis, Budget, etc.) are all located inside the terminal building, so no shuttle bus rides to a distant, off-site location. Southwest doesn't fly directly to BLI from Denver, so one can connect through Oakland or Las Vegas to use BLI, but it sure beats the long drive up from SeaTac on Interstate 5. BLI is only 20-30 minutes away from the Blaine/Pacific US/Canada border crossings. There's a Costco nearby too, if you need to get some eats and fill up the petrol for your car. Overall a great little airport!

Small little airport, pretty clean and modern with enough space for everyone. There's one TSA official checking your IDs there, normally, that would've made the line really long, but for some reason, today there was no one behind or in front of us, so it was real quick. The security after that isn't too bad, they ripped apart a bunch of the stuff in one of our backpacks, but it didn't set us back more than a few minutes. It's nice and quiet, greta place to go if you live in Vancouver or a nearby city and want cheaper flights out.

Absolutely beautiful airport. Great staff, great snack shops, great service! They have upgraded their airport, and altho it may be small it is so clean and well built. Love the new technology they have upgraded since the last time I flew in. Amazing job keeping this place spotless and clean!!! Definitely recommend this airport! I guarantee you will have a good experience at this airport! Just remember to treat the staff the way you want to be treated! Were all humans!
