6 reviews for Cherry Capital Airport
CCA is a great improvement over the old terminal building. The Interior is very nicely decorated and full of light thanks to lots of windows. No frills, no excess, just nice (just like TC).
Only problem is that it still lacks staff. I've been delayed flying in because "they had to call someone to come back and plow the runway." I mean its TC, in the winter, think people think. We flew up in hopes that someone had plowed the runway, otherwise we'd be landing in Pelston (that would have been great).
I've also had troubles with the baggage handling. I arrived once and had to wait an hour for my bags to arrive at the baggage carousal. Apparently they couldn't drive the baggage carts out to the plane because it was to icy... or some ridiculous reason.
I absolutely love flying out of TC, its by far the best airport that I've traveled through, but you can't get 5 stars because everyone else sucks :P
As a sky goddess, I have seen a million airports in my 11 year career in aviation. A few years ago, the old terminal began gathering dust, and I anxiously awaited the unveiling of the "New" Cherry Capital Airport, or TVC, as it's known by those in the industry.
Well, you can see for yourself. This airport is beautiful, shiny, and new. I love the gift shop, Cuppa Joe, and the ease of access to all things a traveler needs (like rental cars, and speedy ticket agents). I only wish that my airline flew mainline here, so I could get paid for visitng.

Modern, with a new and upbeat feel to it. Definitely not your typical airport, in decor or size.
The small size alone makes it attractive, with getting through ticketing, security and everything else a breeze. Not much in the way of food aside from a couple vending machines and a small restaurant, but they do have nice waiting areas, Wi-Fi and a few name brand rental car offices.
Ive been to other, smaller airports before, but this one has some life to it-and its very clean.

The Traverse City Airport (cheekily named Cherry Capital Airport, isn't that cute?) is the epitome of ease.
Since its renovation several years ago, it feels more like you are flying into someone's living room (fireplaces, leather loungers). I rarely get the chance to fly into TVC, but as chance would have it my little car couldn't brave the snowstorms and I snagged a decent flight roundtrip from Chicago to visit the homeland. (check efares the week before if you want to go roundtrip from Detroit or Chicago)
American, United and Northwest all service this airport, with connecting flights through Detroit and Chicago. Lucky me!
The new design is quite beautiful, and I mean...when's the last time you saw a "beautiful" airport? After spending nearly 3 hours at O'Hare in a cramped room with 1200 other annoyed passengers trying to beat the Easter Bunny home, this airport seemed like heaven. It's clean, comfortable, well laid out and convenient. My brother was waiting literally 3 feet outside the door for me...no circling, no short term parking 7 miles away. Oh, and if you do need to park it's like $6 per day...crazy.
Now, if only O'Hare wasn't the other leg of the journey and my dog could count as checked baggage, I'd fly every time I revisited my birthplace ;)

I was shocked at how beautiful this airport is. Whoever decided to do it up in Arts & Crafts style hit the bullseye, from the comfy lounge chairs to the stained glass accents, display cabinets, and the cool 1" tiles in the bathroom (including the larger accent tile that on inspection is actually a map of the Grand Traverse Bay area).
Quick check-in, short lines, easy rental car access (right next to the terminal), this airport is a gem.

Cherry Capital Airport by far is the prettiest small airport I've visited.
Small size means fast check-in, shorter walk. But the newly renovated airport has lots of modern touches.
In addition, Traverse City is a pretty town next to the big lake :)
