I’m in line for customs right now. The line is insanely long and there’s absolutely no bathrooms between the plane and this long line. I hope you all get stuck behind 4 long rows of people with no bathroom. I thought Germany’s airport was bad when I had to go through the check line 2x and there was no direction on how to enter, but you guys took the cake today.

The general attitude of most people working here is generally rude and or disinterested. That's not too say all are this way. They're are a few really great and friendly people as well. Security lines can sometimes be very long if there are maybe 3 flights @ the same time. Generally it's not an issue, but plan accordingly. Transportation is easy to get to and easy pick-up and drop-off. Baggage claim can also take some time.. So no need to rush to baggage claim.

Missouri travelers can use their ID's for travel through Jan 19, 2019 currently because a grace period for enforcement was announced last week. Another extension for Real ID is expected beyond January but no other announcements have been made. STL Public Relations.
There are usually some empty gates you can find a seat at. Overall, it’s not a loud airport although you do have some military jets that use the runway. Those are very loud during takeoff but only lasts a few seconds.
Just their boarding pass if they are traveling with an adult. The 13 year old will require the unaccompanied minor program if they are traveling alone.
Terminal 1 is located on the west side of terminal 2. You'll find terminal 1 before terminal 2 upon entering the airport road.

No charge, but they may ask you to move if you're parked in one spot too long. If that happens, loop around and try again or follow signs to the "cellphone" lot and wait there until your passenger calls you. It's about a 3-minute drive.
All of the hotels have their own shuttle. Call from the courtesy ☎ phone inside the airport, tell them which terminal you're at, then go outside and wait in the hotel/motel shuttle pick up spot.
Go down to exit 17. You will see the signs that say passenger pick up/ ride share. They are blue with white writing and a red stripe on the bottom. Park at the curb to the right where you see those signs.

Missouri Drivers licenses are still accepted as official identification for TSA through October 10. We are expecting news any time now that that will be extended. STL Public Relations.
There are no direct flights from San Francisco to St. Louis. There is a United flight from San Francisco that stops in Houston that will arrive shortly after 5 PM.
I normally park my car at Park and Ride and they take me to the airport and they bring me back to my car I remember going away for the weekend I think I paid 30 some dollars for surface parking
Just make sure you follow the signs for departures n arrivals. Get there a little ahead of time then you can circle around n pull off until they let you know they arrived n have luggage. They don't allow you stay very long
BK was serving and a Starbucks towards the higher gates is open 15 gates or so from security but check the sign at closed location to be sure . This info is from 9-18.
You’ll need to fill out an unaccompanied minor form and any necessary Customs and Immigration documents for the day of departure. This form must remain with your child during their journey. At check-in, parents / guardians will also need to provide:
A birth certificate or passport as proof of the child’s age
The adult’s government-issued photo ID with their current address
Your phone number so the airline can contact you
The name, address and phone number of the adult meeting your child at their destination
Once your child is checked in, the ticket agent will give you a security pass from the airport ticket counter so you can take your child to the gate.

It is unusual to have snow for Christmas in St Louis. It is usually in the 40s. Occasionally you can get a cold year with snow and once ever ten years it can be warm an in the 50s.
Check what airlines that fly out of Lambert International and see if they have flights to Nashau New Hampshire. Worse case would have to fly to O'Hare catch a connecting flight.

Anam,
The Airport is open 24 hours and you can choose to stay in the Concourse, or exit and stay in Terminal. There are no lounges that operate through the overnight hours, however. STL Public Relations.
Southwest flies in and out of Terminal 2. I found this by using Google. Maybe you can try that next time.

Assuming you are the custodial parent. This is a question for your lawyer first and then the airline. I think your settlement conditions determine this. At any rate, this inquiry question does not belong on an airport review site, and any information you get from here is not legal advice.
If your driver's license has been updated to the new federally approved ID version, this will work domestically. If not it will still work until the new law requiring the federally approved license goes into affect.
A passport is still needed for international flights.
Go to the airport website and locate the map of the airport. This will tell you what you need to know.
In the future remember that that this is a REVIEW site.
There is a cell lot, but not specific for terminal one. It's close so you can use it just the same and it takes no more than a couple minutes to pick up your passenger.

It has an airport exit from west...cant miss it!...then follow directions for arrivals and departures

Yes to both questions...arrival and departure signs are noted when u arrive...just follow...as far as checking in you can as soon as u pull up outside or inside terminal...someone always there to help with questions
BTA is not a real thing. According to US Embassy website: BTA (Basic Travel Allowance) is a scam. A perpetrator will say that he/she needs money to pay for the BTA in order to travel to the US. DO NOT give anyone money for BTA.
Hope this is helpful.

There's no easier way to pick up a passenger than with our Cell Phone Lots! Vehicles are not permitted to remain stopped in the Arrivals areas. Any vehicles not immediately picking up a passenger will be asked by security to keep moving.
Our Cell Phone Lots, located near each terminal, provide free waiting zones for motorists picking up passengers curbside. Your passenger calls when they are ready to be picked up, you can meet them curbside in minutes.

They will ask you for a credit card in your name and take you thru a more thorough body check
That kind of information is not available here. Check with your airline for your flight information. Flights may be delayed this time of year and especially during the Holidays.

Hope Cantrell | Oct 10, 2019
Jeremy B | Oct 10, 2019
If you want to book ahead, you have to pay now. The only way to pay for it on Nov 27, is to show up at the airport and hope they have flights that day. It will be extremely expensive to do it that way.
What's the date... when you can only travel with a passport?
Follow the signs opposite the luggage carosel, they will indicate the location. There's only a couple of locations on the sidewalk, you will find them easily! 🙂
Frontier arrivals occur at both terminals. Domestic flights will return to Frontier gates at Concourse C in Terminal 1. International flights ( for instance, Cancun) must go through Customs which is at Terminal 2. STL Public Relations.
Why do all of the shuttles still go to terminal 1 first and them to terminal 2. Southwest is the biggest carrier, let's start treating them like they are . Which brings up a 2nd question, when is the airport going to address the u turn to exit?
St. Louis Lambert International Airport | Oct 10, 2018
Frontier Airlines departs out of Terminal 1, Concourse C. For its international flights, arrivals come into Terminal 2, through Customs. All other domestic flights return back to their Concourse C gate. STL Public Relations.

All domestic flights arrive in C Concourse. Frontier's international flights, currently from Cancun, arrive in Terminal 2 to passengers can be processed through Customs. STL Airport Public Relations.
If you are coming in international you'd have to come into a "port of call". I believe the closest is Chicago. Had some friends from Austria & Canada have to stopover there before coming to St.Louis.
Once they took a prop plane from Chicago to St.Louis to save money vs. A connecting flight by jet from Chicago to St.Louis.

Ms. Brown. Delta is in Terminal 1. Main Terminal is an old name and you won't see that on any signs. Look for Terminal 1. Specifically, they're in Concourse A, which is where you would go after you check-in or if you're waiting on arriving passengers on a Delta Flight. STL Airport Public Relations
