SGF is one of my favorite airports to fly out of. TSA is always short and long-term parking is relatively close and reasonably priced. The only tip I can offer is if you have a lot of bags and/or traveling with kids; if you can drop your kids, spouse, and bags off at the entrance. While the parking is relatively close it is kind of a hike with a bunch of bags and a couple kids in tow.

Usually through TSA in 2 minutes. Show up at least 45 minutes before flight though if you want to check a bag (I’ve missed a flight bc I showed up 40 minutes beforehand due to bad weather and wasn’t allowed to check my bag). The coffee shop is weirdly expensive. There’s a small restaurant with a bar (they don’t start serving drinks until 6 AM FYI), and a Hudson News. Earlier this month it looked like they were building a new little bar by the gates.

If you aren’t checking a bag, 30 minutes before your boarding will be fine. There are just not enough gates or flights for the lines to be more than 15-20 minutes. Usually it’s like 2 minutes. The only potential hold up in SPG comes from checking a bag, and that process is similar to other smaller airports.

It's just a smaller breed of the muscle car assholes that I see/hear on Glenstone and National all the time.

I don't understand the desire to drive your fun vehicle in town when there's all sorts of cool hills and valleys you can kill yourself on mere minutes away outside the city. Even as a mere Prius driver, that's always been infinitely more fun to drive than the main drags of Springfield.
