Kim HolstOctober 21, 2016What a great little airport! There is an office area open to everyone that is comfortable and quiet to get work done. Quick security lines. And, the Delta gate was giving away popcorn!
Nice and easy airport. Free wifi. I also saw one computer that has free internet access. There's a Great Lakes Brewing Co. where you can never go wrong. Try the Christmas Ale. CAK needs more clocks.
Upvoted 2 days ago- Easily my favorite airport: Easy parking, attentive shuttle drivers, short check-in lines, quick wait at security, great lakes on tap and I've never had a significant flight delay--what's not to love?Upvoted Feb 15
Craig MeredithApril 18, 2017Plenty of workstations for those wait times and catch up work...you can actually understand the PA system...very enjoyable facility!
Michael HarrerMarch 20, 2013Must have a Dortmunder before you fly out, or legend Jim Thorpe will haunt you and tackle you in your dreams,lol! Be safe and welcome to Canton, Ohio!
- Great travel options considering its a regional airport. We rarely use Hopkins anymore!
Jonathan MeyerNovember 22, 2013Definitely the best airport I've been to. Parking is easy, shuttles run continuously, and never a long line at security. They have it figured out!
Noel LathamSeptember 15, 2016Super easy and small. Definitely a nice change from some of the larger airports.
Uber is an available alternative to taxis here. Almost half the price! By the time you get your luggage, the car will be available to pick you up! Note: Ubers ETA is off, never more then 15 min.
Charu DevgunDecember 15, 2013Have breakfast before the security check in. Cinnabon is the only place which is open in the morning past the security check.
Ryan PalmNovember 29, 2013Super easy and painless from parking to getting in the flight. Only here to visit for thanksgiving but met a cool bartender. Make sure to get a drink and the bar!
Parking is easy and cheap (Long term is $10). Workers are very friendly (even TSA). This is a great airport!
Parking, arrival gate, security are all in the same proximity! I don’t mind traveling a little further to have it easy at a friendly airport.
If you're round-tripping be sure to look at in/out of CLE. Cheap rental cars can be had as they constantly shuttle cars back and forth between locations.
Wayne FairleyDecember 12, 2011The folks at the airport information desk always have a smile and the answer to any need. Stop and chat.
I think it took all of 10 minutes to check a bag, get thru TSA and get to my gate. Love MY airport: CAK!
Who knew there was a "flight observation deck" on the second level by the exit to the secured area?? Dont see the approach but see taxi.
Gregg PullanoJune 15, 2015The layout strikes me as a little odd compared to other airports, but it's pretty nice. Southwest does a good job here.
No need to arrive too early if you travel in the early morning- I've been here a dozen times and it has never taken me more than 15 minutes to get from the car to my gate.
Very small airport. Makes it easy to get around. Lots of flights go in and out still and they manage it well.
Laura AbramsonJanuary 19, 2013This is a very easy airport to get in and out. Short security lines. Don't miss the Great Lakes Brewing Co. by gate. 9. Great Christmas lager.
Don't fly Allegiant, especially if you have kids. They only let one person to the gate even if you have an infant and a toddler to get through security.- Gregg PullanoMarch 18, 2019Decent, small airport for Akron and Canton. Easier alternative to Hopkins if you live down here. Most low cost airlines left but Spirit maintains daily Orlando flights as of 2019.
The Business Center at CAK is the best kept secret in travel. Flight announcements can be heard and you are one minute from any gate.
Ben ZelleJune 24, 2013Free WiFi is handy for long wait/layovers and there is some next quiet area near the business center to work.
Tiny but effective. So much more convenient if this is your final destination as opposed to Cleveland.
My home. Always love flying into this airport. So many memories. We are America.
Yep! You can leave your small electronic devices on during take off & landing if they are in 'airplane mode' - so yes more candy crush!!
Tony PJuly 19, 2013Southwest staff is struggling with Kiosk style check in and Air Tran customers so allow extra time for morning flight.
Vivek BelloreDecember 27, 2014Eat before security, drink after. There are great lake brews waiting for you
Bill KirkwoodJune 21, 2014You don't have to remove shoes or laptops to get through security. Smoothest pass since 9/11
The Business JournalNovember 1, 2011A record number of travelers flew in and out of the Akron-Canton Airport in September. The total of 138,846 customers beat the previous busiest September in 2010 by 13,811.
Rob HemmerichAugust 28, 2013As of August 2013 free wifi seems fast and reliable. At least it is at the bottom of the escalator to gates 8-11.
Jon DarveauAugust 6, 2012The rental cars are easily accessible and rarely congested with minimal screwing around time.
Things are looking better by the day here at CAK. Best place to fly to and from, glad to call it my home airport.
Monday morning flights to LGA (New York City) are almost always over-booked. Good way to take a bump and get some free tickets!
TSA Pre-Check is now open! Stay to left side of security area to enter these lanes.
Emily SpallerSeptember 24, 2012Definitely eat before coming through security, there's only Arbys once you make it through!
Kristen BFebruary 8, 2011Friendliest airport! I always fly into Akron-Canton when I am visiting Ohio!
Rob McLeanDecember 9, 2013On my way to the city that never sleeps, but delayed in one which apparently never wakes up. Do they film The Walking Dead in Akron?
Easiest airport to travel out of. I’ve never even seen a line at security.
