COLORADO SPRINGS AIRPORT review : 15 September 2009 by G Irwin

Customer Rating : 2/5

The lack of reasonably priced and convenient public transportation options to and from the airport is a major downside to this otherwise attractive airport. Why the city bus system stops just short of the airport is hard to understand, without invoking a conspiracy theory involving the expensive and inconvenient commercial bus, taxi and limousine services that enjoy a monopoly in this market.

I highly recommend traveling out of COS if you live in Pueblo, Colorado Springs, even Denver! COS is a very cozy and convenient airport, with easy parking, check-in, security, and baggage claim. It's main terminal has 12 gates, so it isn't at all huge, but it is a very comfortable size. In the past several years, the planes flying into and out of COS have sadly gotten smaller (think regional jets) and the routes served are mostly to hub cities. That said, I would personally rather fly out of COS and connect than drive the extra hour and a half to DEN and fly nonstop because it is a lot less stressful. The airport recently purchased new furniture for each gate area, and it is a vast improvement. They even have padded benchs in the center of the terminal that you can lie on and sleep before you fly! This little extra is great because, let's face it, when people come from sea level to 6,187 ft, it is nice to lie down and adjust to the high altitude. That said, one downfall of COS is its lack of shops and restaurants, though the variety isn't horrible. The free Wi-Fi throughout the terminal, though, helps compensate for this shortfall.

If you don't need to go to Denver, I recommend COS as the best option for going to Colorado. Small, but not too small; clean, efficient, quick and centrally located to most points in Colorado. Good, quick car rentals. I use it routinely to go to Pueblo and Denver. Yes, Denver, as it can be more convenient and faster to get to a lot of places, especially in south Denver. Remember Denver airport is 30 miles east and an expensive toll road from many points in Denver. Also traffic is very congested in Denver, but only moderately so in Colorado Springs. Only problem I have is that most often (but not always) the cheaper fares are into and out of Denver.

I fly through COS whenever possible, even though I live in downtown Denver. Very nice, clean, simple airport. If you're flying on United, the walk to the gates at the far end (the entire terminal is half the size of DIA's Concourse A) takes about 10 minutes). Security is quick and painless, parking is plentiful and cheap, and the concessions are good. The only problem I've ever had at COS is nothing to do with the airport itself; Colorado Springs is doing major work on I-25 and getting through the city to the airport can be tiresome.

COS is a nice airport, and very efficient. Restaurants are good for a smaller airport, and baggage claim wait was short. I really appreciated the free wi-fi internet service, something that is often paid for in other airports. The only drawbacks are that it is far from the city so cab fares are high (plus the city bus system doesn't include the airport), and the terminal is so tiny compared to the airport as a whole that it takes a long time to taxi to the runway even with light traffic.

This is a small airport so you will never get lost. I go there twice a year and have never been held up going through security for more than five minutes. The staff have always been very helpful. For such a small airport there are a few decent places to eat. I used to fly into Denver and drive to the Springs but never again.
