Have you ever been the only person in line at the security checkpoint? Would you like to be?

Granted: no SBUX - frowny face!. And I'd never seen the name of the lone food place before.  And I had to walk out onto the tarmac to board my plane, but that's kind of like in the movies, isn't it? And there appeared to be only 1 concourse with only a handful of gates.  But I'll take that ANY day over these behemoth glass steel and concrete monstrosities they call airports . I was a little surprised to find that Kalamazoo Airport parking was $15 a day, long term, a bit steep for a twinkie town - but don't think about it. There are over 20 Kalamazoo Airport hotels, so just forget the overpriced lot and kick back like a kalamazoo king in the hotel, with your free vacation parking thrown in.

There are many things Kalamazoo Airport is not:

It's not a place to get a meal, or go on a shopping spree, or shine your shoes, or see more than 5 gates. But wait, there's more. Kalamazoo Airport is also not the place to:
have to take a tram from one gate to another, or have a 50 minute ordeal from the car, through security, to your gate. Kalamazoo is small, and yes, I too am a little skeptical about that "International" designation - but with a nearly new terminal, and one of the easiest in and out experiences in the country, I'm a fan.
