Austin-Bergstrom International Airport

"I traveled on a Monday thinking it would be less crowded. I was wrong. Everyone is trying to leave Austin on a Monday. Security lines were long, check-in lines were long, and the bathroom lines were long. I'm going to assume short staff. There were not enough seats to accommodate every person in the airport waiting for a flight. We had a service animal with us, and there was only 1 pet relief station along the gates we were at. We were at the farthest end of one side (gate 33), and the only relief station was all the way down by gate 9. It took us 30 minutes to get through the walking traffic there and back. The announcements for the gates for delta airlines were quiet, and we couldn't hear when they were calling our zones to board. Southwest could be heard every time over the intercom. Even from the other end of the gate way."

"First time at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. Seemed like a small airport and a lot of construction was going on! Being small had its perks too - it was a quick walk to baggage claim and from there another short walk to get an uber!Noticed there weren’t many lounge options unfortunately. “Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is known for featuring regular live music performances and numerous artworks. The airport is undergoing a major expansion to increase its capacity to handle over 31 million passengers annually, with construction expected to be completed by 2040.”"

"Wow what an exciting airport. This is like a mall experience while waiting for your flight. Thank goodness they are getting ready to build new terminals because it is super super crowded here. I’ve never seen an airport with so many people. One of the cool things is, they had a live band playing at the bar next to my gate. The people are friendly here so at least while you’re in the crowd, you make new friends. It was also really easy getting into the airport from the interstate. Bringing back the rental car was really easy. We even got a ride from the rental car return to the terminal. If you’re coming from Dallas, don’t drive just take a flight on Southwest."
