Niagara Falls International Airport – IAG

A small regional airport which looks either newer or very well kept. Not alot of options for food or entertainment once you get through security. Security was super slow. Rental cars are located within walking distance of the baggage claim area. Alamo had a very good rate when we booked.

Great little airport in Niagara Falls with limited scheduled traffic. When I flew to Ft. Lauderdale, it was super easy to get in and out; security took minutes and there was practically no one here. I don’t remember there being any food options at the airport, so remember to bag your own lunch. Spirit Airlines flies out of here for a direct flight to Florida multiple times a week and you can often snag a one-​way ticket for under $ 100.
Aside from the commercial operations, I’ve flown in here a number of times. For general aviation traffic, the landing fee is only $ 3. They often have a courtesy car you can use for an hour or so on a first come, first serve basis. Fuel is generally on the pricier side, but it’s still a much more GA-​friendly airport than BUF. Lots of military traffic in and out of this airport, including C-​130s that will often be found in the vicinity.
All in all — it’s a nice smaller airport that has some scheduled jet airliner traffic and is a friendly General Aviation airport.

NF Airport does not stand for No-​Flying Airport, because that would completely defeat the object. Nope. It’s Niagara Falls. Or if you’re an old guy, Viagra Falls.
I’ve been to this airport once or twice just for fun, but my friend Alex L flies in and out of here regularly, so I’m jealous. I want to trade places with him so I can know what it’s like to fly a plane. But actually I don’t, because it seems a little scary.
Anyway, this is an underused airport which commercial airliners don’t really serve and rarely land at. Alex also told me Spirit airlines use this airport which is the cheapest way to get to Florida without hitchhiking or stowing away in an aircraft wheel well. Something we’ve all done once or twice in our days.
A lot of private jets and small planes come in and out of here, and of course, Alex L. But his plane is the only thing that’s small about him.

This airport is AWESOME. Small, stupid easy to get through, CLEAN and new too. I loved flying out of here. Way less chaotic than BUF, though BUF is pretty easy to breeze through too.
My sister and I flew on Spirit Air to FLL at 2am. I think ours was the only plane there and the flight wasn’t full so we each got our own row of seats to sprawl out on. The airport at that time was soothing and calm. It’s a great place to fly in and out of! There were no lines, no drama.
This may be one of my favorite airports. And living in the northtowns, it’s super quick and easy to get to. Love it!

The airport is great and has free wifi. It is much better than some of the smaller European airports I have travelled to with RyanAir /​Vueling etc.
No complaints from me regarding the Airport. However Spirit Airlines on the other hand deserve nothing better than a ⁰⁄₅.

This is a very small airport. The doors were actually locked when we arrived for our flight! There are extremely limited food & beverage options-​vending machines & a snack bar that may or may not be open when you go & you have to go in thru security to get to. The one bonus is there is a huge waiting area upstairs with plenty of seating with lots of chairs, couches, & rocking chairs.

Great airport to fly in and out of. Spirit has a flight that leaves late and gets you into Fort Lauderdale first thing in the morning. The staff at the airport are very accommodating too. I love the late flights, it lets me maximize my day.

Easy to navigate through this smaller airport. The only thing I will say is that it always seems to be windy here and taking off and landing can be bumpy. The staff and people here are very nice.

I must disagree with the previous review. There is free wifi, which I am using right now. If free wifi, then good review. This is my rule.
Beyond that, there was a line of precisely zero people at security. Just make sure you print your boarding pass. The agent I spoke with couldn’t read my phone.
Aside from all that, I’m here because of Allegiant, which sells some very cheap flights. That too is ok by me.

IAG is a nice little airport with no hassles; no free WiFi either, though. Last visit upon arrival had a totally ridiculous wait-​time of an hour for our checked bags. Not sure if that’s the airline (Allegiant) or the airport, or both. Also be aware that car rental choices are limited, and many rentals are off-​premise (e.g., Hertz) — you have to call for a ride.
