Chattanooga Metropolitan by John Pelham
10 March 2008 Customer Rating : 
CHA is a compact but efficient airport serving a metropolitan market of about 500,000 residents. In
the past it has suffered from proximity to major airports in Nashville and Atlanta but today 7
airlines service Chattanooga with a rather rapidly growing number of destinations. The airport is
very clean with free Wi-Fi throughout and parking and security is superior. Low fare airlines have
joined the legacy carriers so there is quite a nice selection of flights and fares. Sure saves time
and headaches of leaving from larger airports.

CHA has the misfortune of being too close to Atlanta. Over half of
Chattanooga flyers drive to Atlanta (or Nashville or Birmingham) to fly.
However, CHA offers competitive fares and I would guess most flights now
are regional jet. The airport itself is beautiful, with a large copper
dome as the facility's trademark (in honor of the city's railroad
heritage). CHA is a modern, state-of-the-art airport and is where I
choose to fly out of, even though I live in the northern Atlanta 'burbs.

As a resident of Chattanooga I have used this airport on several
occasions. With just 5 gates it seems to be a bit undersized for a city
of 160,000. However, speaking from an architectural
perspective it has more character than most airports I have flown
through, and is very clean besides. There is virtually no chance of
getting lost, owing to the small size and simple layout.
The security checkpoint is neither intimidating nor cumbersome, but the
agents are thorough and will search your bags if needed. CHA recently
added a daily direct flight to Dallas/Fort Worth and will soon follow up
with direct service to Houston and Orlando. Other cities with direct
service to and from CHA include: Atlanta, Chicago, Charlotte, Washington
(DC), Cincinnati and Memphis. CHA really is a connected airport, and
getting moreso all the time, apparently.

One of the easiest domestic airports to figure out. Just a couple of restaurants but each one has
great selection of food. They've been getting better flights and it is transitioning to more of a
transit type airport. Staff is scarce, but ticket counters are fast to check-in and
the security line
is real quick(5 minutes at the most). I now start my journey to any destination from here.
