Off site rental return so give yourself plenty of time. Love the rotating art displays on the first floor. With checking out on your way to baggage claim

Be sure to sign up for the program TSA pre-check. It is a fantastic program and will save Tons of time at Lambert Airport. C gates have a rapid entry point where you don't have to remove shoes, etc.
At security, put your wallet, phone, keys, change, etc. in your bag or your coat pocket. It keeps your stuff together and it's much easier to get your stuff on the other side of the x-rayUpvoted 2 weeks ago
Grab a bite to eat or drink at the Schlafly Tap Room by the security check point. The food is awesome and the beer is a staple of St. Louis.Upvoted 2 weeks ago
Brett JacksonMarch 12, 2011Go to the bathrooms or somewhere where you can hear the piped-in music. It's like 60s infomercial, and it's very delightful.Upvoted Mar 18
Don't forget to leave your computer in your carry-on, your shoes tied tightly to your feet and with any toiletries, be sure they're in oversized containers haphazardly placed in your satchel.
Mindy Murphy BoeraAugust 11, 2013Hands down one of the nicest and cleanest airports I've been in! The bathroom stalls are large enough to fit your carry one without having fear of tripping and falling to the lu!
Terminal 2 (or the East Terminal) is a breeze to deal with. With TSA Pre-Check I am through security in less than 15 minutes (even when busy) and the food options a good and have a lot of variety.
Darren CalhounJanuary 1, 2019The bathrooms are no-touch. You can enter, get soap, wash your hands, and leave without touching anything. Win!
Paula MadeiraAugust 24, 2018Not so big but nice. There is a train that you can get to downtown. For $7 you can get a day use pass. Very nice.
On the move again. Breakfast in St. Louis, lunch in Denver, dinner in LA. Wado to Grandfather, wado to The People!
Make sure to get here early as security lines are long and don't always move quickly, especially for SW. Good food choices beyond security though which is a nice change.
The Ritz-CarltonJanuary 14, 2015While at Lambert-St. Louis International Airport, enjoy the art glass installations in concourses A and C. Nine local artists created concepts for an overall glass canvas of nearly 50 square feet.
Look for vending machines for quick soft drinks or water! You’ll save time and money avoiding the bigger shops.
Came earlier if possible. TSA lines could take half hour and i a rush, you could miss your flight.There's 3 nice restaurants near A15 gate, and also a gift shop eith Cardinals apparel!
To get through security quickly, have liquids and computers out of ur bag and shoes and coats off and put it all on the belt to scan. Toss the water or down it. Babies out of their carriers too!
Holly NguyenApril 16, 2014The guy at the USO here is fantastic. Very willing to help even if you aren't in the military! Thanks to the armed services for all you do!
DonovanMay 12, 2018Dated airport with a horrible rental car setup. Even if you are a frequent member, Leave yourself an extra 45min to get and drop off your vehicle.
Eat at the pasta house downstairs by baggage carousel. It's across from Starbucks and the best food at the airport
Make sure you pay attention to which terminal your airline is located...or you'll have to go through security more than once.
Kostya KekhaevOctober 2, 2014Did you say I can actually take some #STL own @Schlafly beer "to-go" with me?! #brilliant (next to Gate C1)
A wonderful place to journey home to. Beautiful terminal designed by Minoru Yamasaki. The recent improvements have made this a fantastic place!
Jaysyn LongoriaSeptember 16, 2014Find the secret "family" bathrooms if you can. Most people are confused as to whether or not they are allowed to use them so they are usually unoccupied and they are much cleaner!!- check out Schlafly Beer on concourse C...the tater tots are cool along with the Hefeweizen!
Belinda Melson-KennedyJanuary 14, 2019The staff are incredibly worthless including the “information” staff. Helpful as a wart on the end of my elbow.
Hungry? Got to the Pasta House and order the meatballs. Huge yummy and not like airport food. Plus good beers and wine.
Very easy airport to fly in and out of. Perfect connecting airport when flying cross country.
Maria LindseyAugust 7, 2013All of my apple devices were offered complimentary wifi via boingo but my fiances HTC they kept trying to charge him. How bout that? So I guess there is free wifi if you are an Apple device holder
The Metrolink is $4.00 one ride good for 2 hours...that will get you all the way to Shiloh-Scott in Illinois...& don't forget to validate your ticket...fines are steep!
Southwest Airlines hub has been great. With easy access to major cities.
SmashleyDecember 29, 2012If your traveling with a service dog don't be nervous. Everyone knew what to do and no one gave me the third degree or asked a lot of questions. Made me much more comfortable!!!
In Terminal 2 the Schlafly/Pasta House bar sells 6-packs to go of Schlafly products. Bring some for your friends to try!
Chris PolloneMarch 15, 2015Gate A men's room has the tallest toilet I've ever sat on in a non-handicapped stall. I felt like a gargoyle up there.
No visit to STL is complete until you visit @Schlafly, and if you're heading out of town you can visit their Tap Room in Terminal D.Upvoted Mar 12
If you're flying Southwest be patient my friend. It's crowded and busy here. Hang in there! (there's not a lot of places to sit!)
Chris RansomSeptember 24, 2013Great airport. Security was really efficient, lunch at Mosaic was delicious. Appreciate the effort. Is all soda in St Louis flat?
Have some time to eat and want to get a local taste while you're at it? Check out the tasty fare spiced with locally-sourced BBQ sauce and the hometown craft brews at Schlafly's.
Brett SiksniusMay 14, 2020Nice little airport. There is a bit of a ride to get to/from the rental car area to the terminal. Plan accordingly.
Can't beat an airport that has easy access from the metro.
Cameron JonesJune 5, 2014The pleather seats in the terminal will muffle a substantial fart. Your welcome.
The snack and gift shop by Gate E6 has fantastic Sour Patch Kids. What a great batch!
Some great history with TWA, unfortunately that ship sailed many years ago. If you stay at the airport Hilton you can see some great pics of Lambert in its glory days.
Major improvements in recent years have made Lambert better. Try all the local eats and new shopping options.
Arlene COctober 20, 2013If you booked with Southwest but you are flying Air Tran you still need to check in with SouthWest. Also if you are going into "the city" so much cheaper to take Metro( $4.00 vs$40.00) .Straight shot
Of you don't have PreCheck with TSA get it now-- will save you a ton of time here. If you are military you can use it too.
The shoeshine guys are phenomenal in the East terminal. They'll have them looking like mirrors.
Lindsey HoganFebruary 12, 2015Parking lot at terminal 2 often full. Park at lot A or do yourself a favor and take a cab!
Cote MediaJuly 10, 2011Airport is under some renovations right now, but overall it was a relatively pleasant airport experience. Wonderful city, wasn't here long enough to enjoy it fully. Will be back.
Moonrise HotelAugust 7, 2012Hop on the Metrolink at either terminal, and it’ll get you where you need to be. Plus, it’ll bring you right to us! For more insider tips, follow @MoonriseHotel at
