If you had a choice to fly into Shreveport… and not to fly into Shreveport… why would you say yes?

No. The worst is Chicago Midway. Gross.

You’re lucky that you got off the plane. I got diverted from ATL to somewhere in South Carolina. It wasn’t even dark and the airport was closed. Sat on the plane for hours with the doors open for air circulation.

I’ve flown into Shreveport a couple times with no problem. You sound like a spoiled child. They forgot to give you a hot towel?

Alexandria is a shittier city and has a better airport. Sad!

It’s a shithole like the rest of the city. Just be happy you’re leaving.

Charlotte is fricking Eden compared to Shreveport.

This is hilarious that a person from BTR is calling another place a shithole. Wow! It’s the worst capital in the US by far & the infrastructure was designed by a 2 year old, You deserve your traffic


You need some self awareness yourself padna

Also BTR is probably the simplest airport to fly out of in LA. And I can also get a whiskey drink unlike that dump in Shreveport

I've had many, many whiskeys at the Shreveport airport. There's a bar behind the cafe in the American/United terminal.

As someone who flys into multiple regional airports for work, I don't think I'd even put Shreveport in the bottom 10. And I think it's much simpler (and cleaner) than BTR.

Lafayette is a nice place to fly out of nowadays. 2-3 minutes from the front door to the gate. The CRJs United flies out of there suck but the facility itself is great.


I just moved back after 35 years. I am 5 mins from the airport and get through everything in about 10 mins. I have flown in and out of a ton of domestic airports. Lafayette may be the best small airports in the US.

Worst small airport- Paducah Ky
Worst medium- Memphis
Worst large airport- Laguardia - I heard Newark is trash.

I could park right in front, walk straight to the security line, two minutes later I was cleared and at my gate.



Massively underrated aspect of SHV. For those that just want to get where they are going and not bothered with gawking like slack-jawed imbeciles in the line of an even more overpriced Starbucks or fast food joint, it's awesome how simple Shreveport Regional is. I'd take that over flying out of real shitholes like Philly and Memphis.

Flew into Hoedspruit Airport. It's basically a cottage on an air force base.

Baggage claim is outside in front. First luggage crate came around with a tractor pulling it. Apparently, that was the only one, as some poor bastard was pulling the second cart all by himself.

Never had an issue flying out of Shreveport. It’s super easy. Never any lines or waits. It’s small so everything is right there.

And I think you are lying about outlets.

But hey we got another Shreveport hate thread this week, so let’s keep that going.

I've been here! Gate 1 on the boarding pass! One gate!

My Uber was a pickup truck driven by a local firefighter, who riffed about how everyone who lives there gets cancer.
