    It's a tiny airport, everyone is super nice, there's 2 TSA lines for one lane of scanners. There are 2 restaurants, one in the secure area and the other outside of security. It's been a long time since I've been in an international airport this small. I like it though, no lines to get through security, you can sit at your gate and not feel like a sardine. The only downside is I've not found a direct flight and all flights that I've seen have been commuter jets so the delays coming in have been pretty regular and if the flight isn't packed then that is also pretty comfortable.

    It was very easy to find the gate# and a very nice airpot. Had some great onion rings at the bar fly before our flight! All the employees I met were so nice and helpful throughout the airpot.

    Lots of activities here despite ongoing expansion construction. Arrivals crowd cluster around the bagging carousel. The regular shopping option around the gate are still active. Still one of the area's best gateway to the rest of the world.

    I travel a lot and this was my first experience with the South Bend Airport. It is a small airport, very easy to navigate, rental cars are onsite adding to the convenience. Staff was friendly and TSA was quick and easy. Nice change from the hustle and bustle of larger airports.

    South Bend International Airport (SBN) is a small but efficient regional airport that serves northern Indiana and nearby areas of Michigan. Known for its convenience and friendly service, it offers a calm, hassle-free travel experience compared to larger airports. The airport provides daily flights to major hubs like Chicago O’Hare, Atlanta, and Detroit through major carriers such as Delta, United, and American Airlines, making connections to national and international destinations easy.

    South Bend Airport is clean, easy to navigate, and TSA is always quick, which I really appreciate. It’s a small airport, so getting in and out is simple. The restaurant is decent, but the portions are pretty small for the price — $13 for a sandwich and $5 for chips adds up fast. And since delays happen often here, you usually end up grabbing something, so I’d definitely recommend eating before you arrive. My biggest challenge has been the flight reliability. Delays are pretty common and can get long. For example, I arrived at 4 AM for a 6 AM flight, and it’s been delayed about 12 hours so far. A few weeks ago, I had a flight pushed back nearly 24 hours, which caused me to miss a pre-wedding event. Sometimes the rescheduled times are extremely late — like 2 AM departures — which makes it tough when you have things waiting for you on the other end, like transportation or check-in times. Most of the delays I’ve experienced haven’t been weather-related, but due to mechanical issues, staffing shortages, or not having a pilot available. It can be frustrating, but I want to share this so people know what to expect. I don’t like giving negative reviews, but I think it’s helpful information for travelers. If you have the option to fly out of Chicago, it’s usually a more reliable choice.
