El Paso International Airport - ELP

Think you know El Paso? Not if you haven't been in a couple of years. The airport is spacious with lots of seating, play ground, and pet area. Once you go through security, which runs very efficiently here, turn left to go to the A gates. (American Airlines, Alaskan) Turn right to go to the B gates. (Southwest Airlines, Delta)Spend some time downtown while you are here. Highly recommend Del Norte for your stay. A speak easy is opening within walking distance at one of the best boot shops. Can't make it too easy for you. But check out the custom boots.

Surprised at this airport in El Paso. For a small town they really make a beautiful for Christmas. It is well kept and has delicious options to eat.It's small but mighty. So smart to have the rental car counters at baggage claim. I also liked that the outdoor path from parking to the airport had ceiling outdoor heaters. Outdoor and indoor doggie area. Everyone seems happy to be here.

It's a small two wing airport that services the Big 3, and some smaller regional airlines, as well. The staff are friendly and the gates are clean. It's not really wired to power devices, but there is free wifi. It's easy to get to major hubs from EP. They have a Starbucks and some other small eateries beyond the security. There is a playground at the end of the B Gates for little little kiddos.Long Term parking has a pretty efficient shuttle and $7 per day parking. It's functional and our new base for travel.

Love this airport it is such an accessible and easy airport to get in and out. Flying with Southwest to Boston via Chicago (Midway). They also have a small courtesy card to bring elderly people to their respective gates. They also have great Halloween decorations right now.

Small, clean airport that is easy to get around in. They have a few small shoppes for you to pick up some souvenirs or last minute snacks or toiletries, or a T-shirt. They have a fresh flower bouquets vending machine, a patio with plenty of seating, and a few coffee shops and restaurants/bars to stop for a quick bite or something to drink. They do have rental car services and they have clean bathrooms and free WiFi. The TSA line is usually very quick and you don't have to wait in line very long. Surrounding the airport are various hotels and restaurants, some walking distance or a very short 5 minute drive. There's long and short term parking, credit and cash are accepted as payment for parking.

We weren't here very long and they are doing construction as well. The airport was pretty empty being the middle of the day. Only bad thing is that the car rental took a long time to come and the office was moved from one side to another. Will be coming back so I'll try to take more pics.

Cutest little / big airport you've ever seen! Honestly I love the airport. It's nice, fairly modern and very easy to navigate. I always busy but never toooo busy. It's clean. And it's always decorated so fun! I'm not sure who's in charge of it, but every major holiday, the airport is decked out following the theme. It's really cool. It hosts all airlines and offers places to eat, shop (snack / souvenir), and rental cars. Long term and short term parking available. Typically over eager parking attendants on the curb and waiting for you to be stopped in the loading zone for 4 seconds longer than they want you to be so they can yell at you. It's got everything you need in an airport lol El Paso is one of those tricky places that doesn't have a huge airport like Dallas (DFW), but is a major international hub because we are 5ft (not exaggerating) from the border (Mexico). Additionally, we are the only airport game for West Texas, southeast New Mexico, and northern Mexico. It leads to a unique situation wherein we have a small town Wild West airport, that's still international, and used frequently by many. Likewise, we have the U.S. ARMYs largest instillation in Ft Bliss, which hosts some 50,000 Soldiers and friends and family and civilian contractors and federal employees etc. - anytime you have the DoD and Military in town, you're gonna have a heavily trafficked airport. Add to that all the 3-Letter agencies that support the borderlands type operations around here, and I'm just being redundant at this point - because you get the point.

This is an efficient airport, clean and affordable food options. The staff is wonderful and the airport is thoughtfully put together. The women's restrooms had free feminine products for anyone with the sentiment to give that dignity to all travelers. There are really neat working/group cube style tables on the A gates and a whole section of seating at B gates. Starbucks on both gates although as of Nov 2023, the Starbucks on B is not functional. No biggie, plenty of other options with food and coffee.

Nice airport! Since we're flying out until later I'll have a chance to check things out. Appears to be nice smaller size airport.

My husband and I are TSA Pre status owners. We took the time to apply for this designation and were cleared for purchase. The status has made air travel much easier and less stressful. At the El Paso airport, we were pulled out of the Pre line (I guess because it was getting long) and sent to the regular line. A card was shoved at us to hold allowing us to keep our shoes on. We waited and waited and waited for people to be processed before us and ended up spending a long time waiting while other Pre customers who remained in that line were long gone. I am livid especially since we paid money to get through the line quicker. I hope the airport administration will evaluate its policies for accommodating Pre customers.
