Punta Gorda Airport

✅ Trip Verified | Very small airport which is not necessarily a problem. The problem we have every time we travel into or from PGD is that they have inconsistent rules nearly every time. We have TSA pre-check which we paid to obtain. At all other airports this allows us to leave our shoes belts and light jackets on as well as laptops and ipads in our bags. Not at PGD. Even though they hand us a piece of paper that identifies us as TSA pre-check travelers we have to remove belts, jackets and laptops/ipads nearly every single time. It is as if the TSA agents at PGD went to completely different classes than every other agent in the country. Not to mention how rude some of them can be about it as well. I really try to avoid this airport as much as possible.

❎ Not Verified | They should spend more money on putting gates in the airport instead of a multi million dollar resort. Plus there isn't any place to eat and minimal places to sit. When a full plane comes in and you have to stand for a minimum of 1 hour it gets pretty bad - at least for seniors.
