California Redwood Coast-Humboldt County Airport

I have been flying in and out of this airport for a little over ten years with zero complaints.

Baggage claim is as easy and pain-free as can be and security takes all of 5 minutes.

From car to gate takes about 10 minutes without checking bags.

Rental cars are plentiful through National/Enterprise and Avis also opened a new location on site.

Weather can be a cause of delays and cancelations during the foggier times of the year but there is word of upgrading to a ILS CAT III so hopefully those issues will be drastically reduced.

Hope to see the day they add a tower

Flew in on a small general aviation aircraft. Runways are in a good condition and GA parking well marked. There is no FBO on the field, but self serve fuel is available. Rest of the facilities are in the terminal building which is accessed via a gate nearby with a return gate code. Overnight fee is $15. The terminal building is fairly modern with all the expected facilities. The surrounding area is spectacular for aerial views, but plan for the marine layer during the morning.

Great little airport, fantastic service. Love the Little Free Library. Reminds me of flying in to Ontario, CA in the 70s and Montrose, CO in the late 90s.

Great airport with multiple airlines, variety of amenities and great artwork to see, and information about cool area sights to see, including trails and parks. Great coffee shop when open. Checkout the observation area upstairs, very cool! Even a free library !

Only place to fly out and in from Humboldt as I know of commercially. Nobody ever pays attention to the signs saying "no waiting," but everyone waits by the sign and receives no consequences, which is kind of hilarious. 5 stars because signs are clearly a suggestion, and everyone there is really, really nice.

Great place to land if you are wanting to see the big trees and have a more less crowded airport. Enterprise and Avis on-site.

Sweet little airport! Landing at McKinley-Arcata airport

Great little airport but give yourself enough time for Tsa. If you have an early morning flight, be sure to enjoy the sunrise once above the fog 🌞

I live in Colorado. The Denver International Airport is significantly larger than the Humbolt Airport. Size aside, it is still nice. I don't know much about that particular part of California (Humboldt County). It was quiet and easy to be there without getting stressed or having to worry too much about time.

This is top 5 for places within the US. Nothing can even come close to how majestic it is to stand next to a Giant Sequoia.

Note to out of towners. We flew in from Denver, you can ride a bus from this Airport to the Enterprise location in Eureka, $3.50 for each adult, kids free. Rent your car off airport to save over $1000. Took a little while but no Uber or Lyfts were available. Town is very small

Small airport. Easy to get around. Both coming and going.

Great little airport. United Express staff are wonderful. Had a baggage issue and Andy and Julie were so helpful and professional. Great job!

Absolutely beautiful!! Highly recommend. Lots of state parks & coastal access points to check out. Buy a day pass to 1 state park and get into the rest for free (for same day visit)

Wonderfully quaint airport. Very reminiscent of flying into small Caribbean islands. Except for the absence of the overwhelming humidity. The staff were friendly and very helpful after we disembarked on the tarmac. The path to get into the airport could have probably been more clearly marked, but given that there are only 2 options available, it wasn't too hard to figure out. The inside was clean and the checked baggage claim was immediately in front of the entrance and very quick. We picked up our rental car which was also a very quick process and headed out. It was either unclear to me or just isn't an option, but I didn't see anywhere to grab a snack or a meal. That being said, the town is literally 2 minutes down the road and if you have access to a car, has many food options. All in all, nice little airport and like I said, brought back a lot of Caribbean memories.

Great airport even though it's small

The most amazing experience was that when we arrived, we left a laptop in the baggage area (we think it was on or under a seat). We retraced our steps back in the baggage claim area and called the airline Lost and Found with no success. The next day we went back again and, voila!, the laptop had been discovered by a security guard and returned. This would have never happened in LA!

Such a beautiful stretch of coast with lots of great towns peppering the way to the best views Northern California

Sad the cafe was closed since every time I go to airport I eat there. Not too many people. Brother was able to check in for his flight In a couple minutes. Free parking in short term parking went well. Overall pleasant experience for an airport.

It was a pleasure being respected by the TSA for a change, they were actually accommodating.
Additionally, Airport employee David was pleasant and courteous helping me out of the aircraft, making sure I was comfortable and also eager to assist when transporting me back one week later upon my return. I am a person with additional needs and his service definitely didn't go unnoticed. Thank you!
