This airport is kinda small, convenient, and security takes like 5 minutes. Amarillo Airport parking is a cinch, and not too expensive; and as far as loading and unloading -they even let you leave a car unattended right outside the doors while you get people in and out of the airport.  I am used to NY or CA airports where, if you even think of hesitating, they are ready to ticket you. It's practically always deserted, and flight times are reliable -- 5 am to 11 pm.  All the major airlines fly here, and this airport is gorgeous. The remodel effort is nearly complete and it's a beautiful facility, one of the nicest I've been in , and there is certainly no shortage of Amarillo Airport hotels to choose from. With extremely limited shops, bars and restaurants (one of each, right?) you know what you are going to get, but they have free wifi and charging desk stations at the gates.. The sheer economy of space and minimalist efficiency of the place reminds me of the domestic terminal at Osaka, just with fewer Hello Kitty items for sale.

The only drawback? You can't get anywhere unless you stop in Dallas or Houston first. You can't even fly directly to Austin from here, last I checked. Anybody know how this qualifies as an international airport?
