Nice airport, quick. We have flew out of here a few times and have always been impressed with how quick the service is. The parking lot is usually full but not hard to get to. Parking garage is clean and accessible. The airport is clean and very helpful. I was truly impressed with this airport. We've had to fly in a few times. I like the way in the parking lot you can tell if a parking space is open by the lighting system. Stores are not always open but when they are they are nice. Restrooms are clean and accessible. There's an open parking lot for big vans. To get to the airport is easy. Signs are visible.

My favorite airport! Flying to and from Columbia Metropolitan Airport (CAE) is consistently stress-free and pleasant. It is a spacious and clean facility with comfortable seating and a peaceful atmosphere. I recently traveled with a disabled person, and the staff members responsible for wheeling him to the terminal and helping him into his seat on the plane were very prompt, professional, and kind throughout the process. Thumbs way up!

Nice place for a small airport. Had some shops and a few places to eat. Laid out well and clean

I usually love this Airport however tonight is another story. They have ten planes backed up on the runway waiting to deplane, and they have no plan to get the passengers off. If other businesses had customer service the way airports and Airlines conduct themselves they would go bankrupt.
