McGhee Tyson Airport 2055 Alcoa Highway, Alcoa, TN 37701

"The staff at the airport was nice and friendly. The airport it self is tired and looks old. It really needs an update. Parking garage to pick up your rental car is pretty close to the terminal which is nice."

"Small but functional airport. Spacious and clean. Good choices of places to eat and cafes. Wifi working. The Information Desk where I went to was very helpful and polite."

"McGhee/Tyson airport is aesthetically pleasing and easy to navigate. One enters the airport to an ascending, glassed walkway with the sound of falling water over mountain rocks. It reflects the beautiful Smokey Mountains in the background. There is comfortable seating facing the fountain while waiting on passengers to arrive and depart. Security was friendly yet serious. While waiting at the gates rocking chairs are available to view the mountains. An added bonus is an art gallery featuring local artist. The rental car lot is directly in the bottom floor of the garage. Easy covered pickup and drop off with efficient and friendly service. I will definitely choose this route again in the future!"

"Love this airport! Rachelle at the American airline desk was so friendly and helpful that it was a wonderful reminder of the friendliness of being home. She was amazing and I wish more were like her at the other airports! This is the first of 3 flights for the day and really wish she could go with me lol. Friendly people all over the airport so far and as always it's super clean. Thank you McGhee Tyson for being wonderful... please set up a class and teach others."

"Flew in and out of TYS on business travel. Thankful to have this airport within driving distance of our client. It’s a small airport with one long “gate” that spans to the left and to the right after you clear security. Other travelers mentioned that the TSA area once your bags are clear, is very short. The conveyor isn’t very long and causes a backup on people waiting for their bags. Recommend that TSA expands this area so that more than two people can grab their items at a time. The 5 stars is for convenience, friendly staff, seamless process to get in and out of the airport. Can’t imagine having to go to an airport that is a couple hours away from Knoxville."
