Arrived at RAP, I was surprised by the number of people in the departure area. Baggage claim was easy waited about 10 minutes for our bags. I would recommend for first time visitors to take the time to go out on the observation deck for the beautiful view. Nice gift shop and restaurant are available along with rental cars.

Gal at boarding for American airline was rude. She couldn’t keep the group numbers in order and kept getting upset with stressed families when they didn’t know when to board because she kept jumbling the group numbers. She made the boarding process exceptionally more stressful for the families with small kids and elderly travelers. Airport itself is fine and the services decent. I rarely write reviews but the way she treated people wasn’t okay she had an attitude and disgusted expressions to match.

Due to flight cancellations, I ended up being re-routed through Rapid City Regional Airport in South Dakota. This was my first ever trip there, and I have never visited a smaller airport than here. It has a total of 6-gates. There is one restaurant and one shop. I needed some food, so I purchased a chicken club wraps that was actually pretty decent. The staff was understaffed and over worked although they did try to deal with everyone respectfully. The food there is extremely expensive like a major city airport where my sandwich and fries with drink was $24. I could not see who was a bartender so I could not get a drink which was why they lost a star. When it came time to boarding the flight it was relatively smooth, and I was in/out of the airport in 2 1/2 hours on schedule. I would suggest that you do not rely on this airport for food and that you bring your food with you. I made that mistake and I needed something to eat. Other than that, I would at that it was a relatively pleasant experience all-in-all.

Accessible and easy to navigate. There's not a lot in the ways of coffee or food. The rental car side is convenient and the new look to the airport suits it well.

Delta has a larger presence as well as United. Most Delta flights connect through MSP, United through DEN. The size of the airport is small, but it's awesome. I have NEVER waited in a line at security and baggage is always speedy.

However, the decision to reopen or remain closed won't be made for sure until sometime in the morning when the airport administration can evaluate the weather conditions at that time.

Been wondering, does runway 5/23 ever get used? I watch flight radar a lot and I haven't seen that runway used once.

Jake Fogle | Aug 19, 2021
Tim Stearns | Aug 20, 2021

It's rarely used and only by smaller aircraft by request or in very limited circumstances (i.e. heavy crosswinds that don't allow landing on 32/14). At 3,600' long and 75' wide it's significantly smaller than the primary runway. If an aircraft is on FlightRadar, they're likely IFR, and there are also no approaches to 5/23.
