I’m only giving Bishop Airport one star because of Allegiant Air. They are the worst airline I have ever used. Bishop should not allow them to use their otherwise beautiful well run airport. Do not fly Allegiant. I have been trying to call for over a month for a refund of over $500 due to them cancelling our flights. Not even an 800 number when you finally get through after the 80th try and wait 3 hours on hold to get disconnected. I have read hundreds of horror story reviews regarding Allegiant. Bishop, you should not allow them to use your airport.
One of the worst experiences Ive ever had in traveling. Cancelled flight 2 hours before departure and basically didnt offer any alternative at their airport. They did provide a voucher, but not nearly enough to compensate the trouble that we had. Very disappointing experience.
Had an interview for a position that wasnt even open or to find out available I guess and was told to just let the people know at the gate I was in for an interview and they shouldnt make me pay for the parking for the 2 minutes I was inside getting told that they had no open spots available and to go back home and wait to be contacted. Which the gate lady said no they should have stamped your card because I cant allow you to just go thru without it stamped which this happened to me before as well and I tried to explain to the lady that I was supposed to be working for but she still reinsured me that they would just let me go past once I mentioned to them I was there for an interview 😑🙄🤦🏼♀️
Great experience- TSA was friendly and helpful, easy drop off, long term parking, economy parking, snacks, gift shop filled with Michigan items - college and souvenirs.Clean restrooms, well cared for gate areas.Good signage.We look forward to our next trip out of Bishop International.Flint should be proud!
Driving into the airport was easy. The parking was great and didnt cost that much at all. The waiting area for arrivals is very nice and relaxing. The bathrooms were super clean. It took a little while at baggage claim. Every thing was easy to find. The parking was cheap. I was parked for over an hour and a half it only cost $1.35 park.
I have lived by this airport for most of my life. I now reside in FL I use this airport exclusively for my trips to and from. Like others have stated it is a smaller airport. Access is very easy there are exit signs on the express way that tell you exactly where to go. Parking is a breeze and is inexpensive. I VERY RARELY encounter long lines here. If taking an early morning flight account for some of a line but it usually moves at an ok rate of speed. Ive encountered no issues here ever with anything. There is a restaurant that servers breakfast ect once you get through security, there is also a bar type place as well. Others commented on how you can see incoming passengers coming in off of flights. I cant tell you how many times I have ran down that thing. Dont ever change that Bishop please. 🥰
Please fly out of a different airport. This one is way to nice as it is. Easy breezy, nice people, quick TSA , everything you would want from an airport. Fly out of DTW , so those of us that want to experience an airport like it should be can use this one.We love FNT !!
I have flown out of Bishop International Airport several times. It is well organized and very nice.Picked up my friend last night and the waiting area is very well lit and easy. Great convenience as opposed to Detroit Metro, which is always busy and somewhat overwhelming.
The police officer that was working on shift Sunday morning June 13 at 5am was amazing. He helped my sister and son with all of their bags to take on a mission trip to Africa. May God bless you for being so kind. Also a special thanks for helping me get out of the parking lot because the credit machine was not working. Bishop Airport will always be our choice. Everyone that helped them with their 11 bags to help the children of Africa. Thank you.
I left my phone in family car after they dropped me off. My boarding pass was on phone. Michigan folks are very kind and they helped me reach family to bring back phone. American Airlines gave me paper boarding pass just in case. I got my phone and made it to gate for home in plenty of time. I love Flint Airport. Calm. Small. Organized. Functioned as a team.Way to go!! Thank you.
Not at all a bad airport, it is a lot smaller than the Detroit Metropolitan airport. The parking lot is easy enough to navigate through. The terminals are easy as well. Needs a bigger staff arrangement, but that could be a finance thing. Not a very big place so it doesnt have a lot but it has restrooms and some food court options. Real easy to find from the freeway as well.
Absolutely my favorite airport. This is the perfect place to start a vacation. Starting with just getting there. A very easy on and off of 1-75 flint Michigan. Once you get off the proper exit. You can choose to either park on site at the airport or across the street from the airport. I often choose this option when I am leaving town for more than a week. When you park across the street you get a discounted rate. This airport is very great when traveling with children its very small and convenient for the family your loved ones canis Court you to almost where the gate is they can support you off the escalator and you can say your goodbyes this place also offers a Emily James dad the guest Dan has many options for the flight you can choose to buy a pillow magazines perhaps the soda water or some snacks before getting onto the plane in addition during peak times there has been options of hot food but normally this option just include pastries Dawn exedra while awaiting you can feel safe in the airport during these pandemic times social distancing is a must at this airport which makes you feel safe its a small airport very very clean I cant emphasize this enough
So impressed with the customer service as well as the TSA agents and the way they work together here. They were a tremendous help making sure I caught my plane and I was able to successfully board when it seemed all hope was lost. They got me on though , great work TSA as well as allegiant reps you guys are awwwwwesome
It seems to me that some of the employees at alligiant airlines have a real need and desire to screw up your trip and zero concern for you as a person and the fact that you might have extenuating circumstances. Not real happy with this fly by night outfit.On the other hand the security people and the TSA people are quite pleasent
Bishop is a great airport. I have been flying to and from for years. With it being smaller its so much easier to go through security check points in minimal time. Sure it might cost a little more then Detroit Metro but you dont have an hour drive with all the traffic. Bishop os far less stressful.
I have never been to this airport before and security was very nice and very helpful with me while I was accompanying 2 minors to the gate. Very clean facility. Flight was for a Monday at 8am after a holiday weekend, there was no traffic at all, maybe 1 other car going in and out when there. No line for security check. Only waited in seating area by gate for 30 minutes before they were calling to board the plane. I may have been lucky with the holiday, maybe less people, but everyone was nice. But I also make sure to be nice, and dont question the rules.
Its ok. Its a smaller airport so Im expecting less time to get in and on board. Dont park here, its across the street and shuttle interval is too long.TSA was efficient and the early morning hour I went was a lot of business travelers so busy yet efficient.Boarding was typical of other airports. Its about what I expect for a small airport.
Never had any problems here. Easy to navigate and check in. There are car rentals, places to eat, and souvenirs as well. Its a pretty small air port as well so, you will easily find anything you need here. I like you can check in on the computer when you get there.....
I used to brag about fast pickups and reasonable parking, trying to persuade friends to try Flint Bishop. After a 35 min wait in the cold on Sunday Feb 9, one bus arrived only to pick up half of waiting passengers. The topper was the nearly double parking fee. I cant be more disappointed with the change. Metro for me!
They have reduced the shuttle to one vehicle. We waited 40 minutes for the shuttle last night. That was with us being 1st in line. The people who couldnt get on had to wait an additional 20 minutes for him to come back. We were told that they had let go 33%of the employees. Holiday inn has park and ride service. They were there to pick up someone way before shuttle bus came for us.
FEB 15TH 6 OF US HAD TO PARK IN THE ECONOMY LOT TO TAKE THE SHUTTLE. IT WAS THE COLDEST DAY IN Feb. We waited for the shuttle and it never came to are area. We started walking up towards the shuttle but the shuttle drove off. We had to cross Bristol up to the airport. One of the shuttle riders saw us in the airport and said they seen us walking and wondered why the shuttle did not stop because there were only 3 people on the shuttle. I did find out that this was the 2nd time that day this happened. Mind you it was around noon when this happened. I called the supervisor who told me he would look into it and call me back. He never did. This is horrible customer service and I would not recommend using them. I can see that if the supervisor does not care about his customers.. why would the shuttle drivers.
This is a very modern airport with all the conveniences of a larger airport. You can go from parking to the gate in 20 minutes. The restaurant is well priced and offers burgers and wraps. The bar is well stocked and again, priced below larger airports prices. Check in at Delta Airlines is quick and the staff are friendly and helpful. Love this airport!
As an Ohio state fan in the heart of Michigan country, I would not expect the kindness I got from TSA agents at bishop international airport. However, I left an Ohio state bracelet at security(must have slipped off when I took my coat off). One of the TSA agents noted my Ohio state attire, she kindly sought me out at my gate and brought my bracelet to me. I am originally from Ohio but I work in New Jersey. I would have never expected that type of kindness at an airport. I would like to thank and recognize this small airport for this act, I wish I had gotten the agent’s name. Thank you! The experience at this airport was phenomenal, small but safe and kind.
Really nice airport. I hadnt flown in 24 years (I am 31, so I was 7!) and my flights sadly got delayed and I missed my connection to San Antonio. But all the staff helped me and others big time. They did everything they possibly could to find me the fastest way back and were very kind and friendly. TSA was also really nice too, had no problems with them at all except they had to take my old toothpaste. lol
Place was empty, exactly what I wanted during covid. I will say there was a cop on a Segway which is ridiculous. You cant drink the water in Flint but they have money to pay some fat pos to ride around on a Segway in one of the smallest airports Ive ever been to. Unbelievable.
Gate 11, February 10th. 5:20 am fate worker has yet to smile. Even though more than 5 people have came up to speak to her. Then the flight attendant, the last person who should be getting the good “costumer service” gets the biggest laugh and giggle. So extremely disappointing that this is a perfect representation of all of the workers at their air port. They don’t not care if you paid everything you had to be on this flight, they just do not care at all
Horrendous first time experience at this airport and 1000x’s worse with United Airlines. Flight gets cancelled with zero warning or notification to only arrive at the airport to be told it was cancelled after driving two hours to get there. Stood in line for over an hour to literally be told “Get your refund online we don’t do that here, there’s nothing I can do for you” by the United Airlines lady who clearly didn’t care for any of us or her job based off her cutting me off mid explaination followed by “Have a better day” while ripping up people’s tickets. After this kind of neglect and clear disconcern for passengers I’m going to make it a personal job to deter everyone I know from using this airport and especially United.
Clean airport, friendly staff! A lot smaller of an airport means its far easier to get to your terminal. TSA was really quick to get thru and friendly as well. On the way back bags were a little late but still less time than at major airports without a delay (The walk alone is usually longer in large airports). Best of all the tickets were cheaper than flying out of Detroit! Ill will fly out of Flint even if the tickets are more than Detroit in the future.
I dont understand people who think an airport is some kind of amusement park or restaurant. I dont need shiny happy people kissing my rear end - I want efficient check-in, efficient TSA and an on-time flight. Bishop and Allegiant have provided that for me and my family on multiple occasions. I would much rather come to a smaller airport than fight the crowds and traffic at the big ones.
Airport is always clean, food is great, easy in and easy out and there is never a huge line for TSA. This airport is a lot easier to fly out of than DTW. Truly one of the greatest airports in the midwest. The airport is small but beautiful. Michigan should be really proud of this airport! Great for flights to Atlanta or Chicago!
Please read as i have added to the review on the bottom.Can not go wrong, We fly here for Southwest airlines and we use DTW for Delta as it has a delta connection to go to Sault Saint Marie, MIchigan. rental cars are a little hard to get sometimes when you get here even with a reservation. only seems to happen if you fly in on an early flight and then you have to wait for them to clean the cars. other than that a clean friendly and fast TSA airport.Update. Was 5 stars now 2 as southwest was allowed to leave an we no longer use this airport. Delta, American airlines only now have connection jets service and allegent air only flys here 2 times a week. so with their higher price we will now fly out of Dtw. 1.5 hours south. Or use grand rapids for southwest. 2.5 hours west.
I am from out of town and haven’t been able to find a michigan sweater anywhere and when i arrive at the airport before security there is a closed gift shop and on the door it said check out our gift shop past security near gate 1 when i got through security the gift shop by gate one was closed without a sign on the doors or anything. I asked the guy working across from the gift shop if he knew by chance would it be open anytime tonight and he said “No the shops closed Nope it’s obviously closed” all i did was ask and he didn’t have to be rude man looked mid 40s maybe but very rude for no reason.
THIS A REALLY TOP NOCHT AIRPORT. The airport is not busy at all. You just go through the check and be on the plane in no time!!! Also not to mention its really clean! And there food shops and burgers and magazines or books and etc... And its pretty quiet there(a great place to read books or meditate or even sleep)LOL. BUT DO NOT SLEEP YOU MIGHT MISS YOUR FLIGHT.
While waiting to pick up my mother a Bishop Airport employee thought it was more necessary to take away the wheel chair that I was holding for my mother to take away and store with the other half dozen Laura Wangler or something close to that last name on Saturday at 635 pm. Terrible customer service to take away a wheelchair
I called and the lady who answered was unnecessarily rude. I’ve never picked anyone up from the airport and had a few general questions and she did not make me feel comfortable if I ever choose to do any future business with them. At the end of the call I said thanks and she just hung up. Not good customer service.
Fast service, nice car. Just beaware that many insurance companies not only cover the rental but offer LOSS OF USE riders for under $5 a day. Loss of use is if there is an accident and the car is in the repair shop for a period of tome. You would be responsible for rental for that period. Rental companies want $30 a day for complete coverage. My car was $20 a day and would have been $50 with their insurance. This is not Alamo, it is all of them. Just check your insurance. Also if you contest it in most courts they have to prove that was the only car not rented. Otherwise they dont have a loss.
The ticket agent at the airport was rude unprofessional and made me miss the flight he waited on everybody before taking care of me to purchase a ticket and when he finally got to me it was past the cutoff and I was stuck in Flint Michigan for another 4 hours to fly out

2021-11-28Great Airport smaller and clean always great Service and consistent on gate placement of planes easy to navigate through… TSA always friendly and thorough I was in a panic after losing my ID this has never happened to me and I didn’t notice it until right as I was checking in with security they were very helpful and accepted other multiple forms of identification with practicing proper safety protocols to ensure I was still who I said I was on point and always friendly and helpful! We fly OFTEN and FNT is a great airport!

2022-04-18Ah yes, the Bishop International Airport. Their post-security snack shop is stocked with everything you may need for your flight (e.g. pepto, goldfish, ear plugs, nasal spray, honey buns, funyuns, jelly beans, fruity tooties, you name it). Interesting fact about Bishop: although it has the word international in its title this airport actually only services flights to 13 cities all located within these United States. No doubt Ill be flying into/out of BIA again someday.

2020-08-20I dropped my sister off at this airport. The drive to the airport was an easy, very direct route. Signage is very good for getting to short/long term parking, the terminal and the exit.The grounds are absolutely lovely! It doesn’t look like you’re pulling up to an airport!And it’s very clean.
