Norfolk International Airport

"This review is for the newer Cell Phone Parking lot. It’s located where the rental car station was nearby the terminal. Since this Summer 2023 the airport has been extremely aggressive with not allowing cars to park along the curb at baggage claim. Roaming staff in yellow vest with ask you to move if time not loading. The cell phone lot is a minute from baggage claim, so it works well to avoid the crunch waiting by the door. There is ample room even during peak travel periods. Find restrooms in the building along with a waiting area and even flight info. Vending is something that could be added."

"Without a doubt I would say “ORF” is well maintained Mid size Airport. Convenient Car rental within premises without taking shuttle bus. Two terminal A / B with different airlines. Central area where it’s splits between concourse A and B are wide enough with bunch of restaurants to eat, power outlets are throughout the gate in Airports so you don’t have to worry about your phone or laptop battery low when you can charge there."

"I was reading another review and they noted that ORF is "well maintained". No joke! I grew up here and the two primary structures have been here for at least 50 years. The terminals don't show their age at all. Now I fly in from out of town. I've never had trouble getting in or out of the airport. The lines are always reasonable, but travelers should consider that this may change during holidays considering the number of military personnel and students (NSU, ODU) that could be coming and going. If you're looking for a spot to sit and work before you go to your gate, there's plenty of lounge seating in the center atrium of the main terminal before you go through security. But overall, I'd consider this airport "easy". One note. Even though the airport is well maintained, it lacks some of the things that you'll find in other airports like moving sidewalks. Along with that, the layout of the terminals is pretty spread out. So if you aren't up for a lot of walking, make arrangements. To be fair, it's a lot of walking for the size of the terminal, but you'd certain walk as much in airports like DCA, CLT, PHL, or LGA."

"Clean and well maintained. Even has 24 Hours Starbucks great for those late, delayed or canceled flights departures and even a late or delayed arrival. The have comfortable business/recreational work spaces in central part of airport"

"Norfolk International Airport (ORF) is an easy airport to fly in and out of. Flying in (evening) was quite a walk from our gate to Baggage Claim but it was very easy to navigate. The rental car counters are walking distance from baggage claim and a short distance to pick up rental cars. Flying out (“noon”-ish): I loved driving into the airport. It’s physically located near the Norfolk Botanical Gardens so the surrounding area looks beautifully landscaped. It’s easy to find where to return rental cars. And walking through the “Museum of Plants”, as I call it, was a beautiful stroll with the natural light peaking through the windows. I particularly liked the outstanding security ladies who assisted me with trying to find my lost cards upon arrival and the lost and found/police department that took my call. They were very helpful. ORF is one of my favorite airports to fly out of because it’s small and quiet, just like ONT and PSP."
