Meridian Regional Airport Meridian, MS 39307

"This is the worst airport in the nation. I unfortunately had to travel through this airport for several months -- On one trip, I witnessed a TSA agent poking his dirty gloves into my food with no regard to all the other dirty surfaces he was previously touching. Too many bad experiences to write. Incredibly overzealous TSA agents "harass" travelers every chance they get."

"I had a fantastic experience with the Meridian Airport. I arrived a bit later than I intended to, cutting it close to the 45 minutes beforehand for baggage check. I missed the baggage check, but the employees there worked with me and arranged a first class seat for the trouble. The dedicated team at MEI and United Airlines went above & beyond to help me."

"I just got used to the hustle and chaos in a regular airport so much that I just love meridian regional. I live closer to Birmingham Intl. but I chose to fly from Meridian because of cheaper price to California. It’s a pretty small airport with plenty of space for seating, a mini museum, and a viewing gallery. As other reviews noted, there’s free slushies and coffee, which is pretty cool. The terminal smells great, well maintained, and more importantly, way more relaxing to board the flight. And the parking is extremely cheap with only about $2 per night. I think I’d always prefer to fly out of Meridian just for the peace of mind and not needing to get to the airport hours in advance. I think you’d be fine if you could arrive just before 15-30 mins for check in and security."

"We landed for fuel on a flight from Oklahoma to Florida and were very pleased with this airport. The tower staff were very friendly, helpful, and professional. He was actually funny as it wasn't a busy day when we landed. The runways are great and large enough for about any plane. We were able to land, get fuel, stretch our legs, spend some time at the FBO and get back in the air pretty quickly. We will definitely put this place on our must stop when flying through the area and would highly recommend them."

"Excellent and efficient service. Free coffee, donuts or slushy while you wait. Some historic photos and objects in the terminal. Only drawback is no restroom inside of security."
