Shenandoah Valley Regional Airport – SHD

Great airport to zip in and out of!
Used SHD last week for a quick weekend trip to MCO — direct flight at a very reasonable price + SHD has free parking! Security was a breeze and all staff was friendly… cannot ask for more :)

This is a TINY airport with just 2 airlines to 2 destinations. Frontier Airline to Orlando and United to Washington Dulles and occasionally (Beckley, WV?). You can come if you have NO check in bag, 30 minutes prior to your flight and have no issues. There are no lines, everything moves fast. Parking is free! Whenever I’m in town for work I love flying here vs. getting into Dulles and doing the drive.

This small airport has the bare minimum, but works great to fly in and out of. Things that will immediately strike you as different is the fact that there are no restaurants or even drink places here. It is not meant to be a place to hang out at while waiting for a flight, but more of an airport that is meant to move you quickly along to get on or off of your plane. There are only two airlines (to my knowledge) that fly in and out, and those are Frontier, and United. Security lines move fast, as the only people there are there for that one flight. There are not issues with circling the airport to pick someone up, there is plentiful parking right outside. It is a great break from the norm.
Currently, Frontier is flying nonstop from Orlando to this airport for a crazy low rate, which we utilized to come up and visit relatives. I wouldn’t hesitate to fly in here again, as the few things they do, they manage to do well.

Great airport. Well maintained. ILS. Reasonable fuel prices. Great line servies and pilot room. Would be as good as it gets if the restaurant was open longer (in the airline terminal).

This airport is a one gate place. Very nice, clean, new, efficient. No lines. Almost comical how small it is, but great how easy it is. Food options consist of two vending machines.

Love the lack of lines. It’s been recently remodeled and is very nice.
