CLEVELAND INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT review : 8 August 2009 by James Burke

Customer Rating : 5/5

I connected at CLE whilst travelling on CO from Toronto to Kansas City. Cleveland is a great place to transfer - it is not too crowded as most planes are regional jets, it doesn't have the same volume as EWR or ORD, it has a great selection of destinations and it is bright and clean. There is a good selection of restaurants and cafes, and the bathrooms are clean. I bet winter isn't too kind to CLE, but as long as snow is not on the forecast I wouldn't hesitate to transfer in CLE again.

I don't mind the airport, everything is fairly easy to navigate except trying to return my rental car. Every time I have been here I find a new way to get lost trying to find the rental car area. They could put up some better signs to direct traffic. I don't think it should take 40 minutes to go from a hotel 2 miles away to the rental car area.

Great mid-sized airport. Lots of direct flights across the US with no significant waits for check- in or security (longest I have waited is probably 10 minutes); easy baggage claim and taxi/train service. Recent restaurant and amenities upgrades have made airport very reasonable during waits. Very relaxing environment and friendly people. Challenge is limited number of European destinations.

Flying into Cincinnai from London (or any international departure point) beats the pants off landing at JFK or in Boston, Atlanta, or Miami. Baggage arrives more quickly; Immigration and customs are a breeze; and he airport is (by comparison) so small it's easy to negotiate. There are plenty of shops and eating spots. The Delta Crown Room is huge and open to first/business class passengers, holders of American Express cards (gold and up), and various others. For travellers to the West Coast, Cincinnati offers another advantage. Flight times from London (and, I assume, the continent) are just marginally longer than they are to East Coast airports -- and are less likely to be put in holding patterns. But flights from Cincinnati to the West Coast are almost an hour shorter.

Cleveland, is a nice small airport. Getting from the gates to baggage claim is a short walk compared to bigger airports like O'Hare and LAX. This place is not even as crowded as Midway is. I flew out on a Sunday and getting through security was a breeze. I was about 10 people at the time going through, but got back to Chicago-Midway and the place was crawling with people. Public transportation in and out of CLE is best by the train which takes you downtown. The amenities are decent for this airport, a good selection of places to eat, but nothing extravagant. This airport will not equal those like ATL, ORD, or bigger airports. Remember that this is a medium sized airport. Overall the airport was very clean and the signage was easy to read and understand. No problems getting in or out of CLE.

I had a similar experience to others flying out of CLE - compact, minimal facilities. If you are flying to an international destination, be prepared for a major disappointment - there is no Duty Free shopping at the airport. (At least none that I was able to find.) If you are looking for a bit of peace and quiet between flights, head down to the end of the "C" concourse and take the elevator up to the observation level (level 2). This is a very quiet, glassed-in area with a wonderful view of most of the runways and concourses - too bad the outdoor section is now permanently closed.

This airport meets most needs adequately. It's not large, and it does not appear to be very new. My one complaint about it is that all car rentals are located in a separate building in a galaxy far, far away. A late arrival in bitter cold weather, combined with waiting on the city-run rental car shuttle, makes for an angry traveler.

Could be worse - pretty small (4 concourses). You could make it from 1 end to the other in about 30 min if needed. Check in is always fast, and I've never waited more than 30 min. for security. Hard to pass time, but they just added one of those stands to rent a portable DVD player for your trip, so that helps.

Fairly compact as airports go and the gates are a reasonable walk. The most frustrating thing about this airport is the total lack of shops and eateries on the landside of security. If you want to eat you have to go through security, if you want to smoke you have to go back out again to the outside. Not a bad airport for changing planes providing you don't have too much time to kill
