Clean and quick in and out for arrival . Close and convenient. Its going to be hard using LAX🤗
Good and clean. Music they play overhead is my kind of jam. Staff is very freindly too.
I love how I feel starting and finishing trips at Meadows Field. Everyone is so nice, and it always seems so calm, unlike the chaos of other airports.
Very quiet and clean, my daughter flying back to Phoenix.
Nice airport will consider again our travel plans.
Easy to get a in and out of Bakersfield CA , very small airport, quick security check , easy baggage claim and drop off.
My family and I have been using BFL airport for over 20 years. Its fast, convenient, reliable and fair in pricing. Customer service is amazing at this location . Fresno and Los Angeles are around 2 hours from our city and yes pricing usually saves you around 100 to 300 if you use their airports but do consider travel drive, parking ,traffic, fatigue so BFL it is! I hope they bring international flights back.
Cute and sweet airport, very well maintained always super clean. We like this airport.
Best customer service experience of my life. When attempting to change flights to arrive at my destination earlier, the American Airlines agent was thorough and courteous in searching for available options. She explained everything to me with patience and compassion and connected with the finance/accounting department to find the difference in cost for changing my flight plan. I ultimately didnt choose to adjust the flight plan due to cost.Since I still had 8 hrs until my flight, I was sitting in the waiting area in the section before you get to the security check. Id been sitting there for 15 minutes when the same woman walked over and asked if Id considered moving to an earlier flight that would still put me at my final destination at the same time, but would allow me to spend my 8 hrs in an airport in Phoenix (more than one eatery) instead. I took her up on that offer and ended up on the next flight.I dont know her name, but she was a Black woman with brown afro puffs in her hair. If youre reading this, THANK YOU!!! Thank you for seeing me and valuing me, and going the distance.
Always clean and efficient. The sales person in the gift shop is very nice.
Best airport ever! Wish it would have more destinations.
Great little airport! Easy in, easy out.
Be careful about the Hertz Rent-a-Car company I was delayed in San Francisco on my flight by 2 hours contact Expedia and they said they contacted the Hertz company in Bakersfield at the airport and that guaranteed that I would have somebody there so I could get a rental car when I arrived at 11:15 there was absolutely nobody there but me and the security guard and I was stranded in Bakersfield for 24 hours till I can get a car the next day I went to Avis instead. Because the Hertz car rental still was not open I was told that there very often. There it was a miserable trip and it costed me a hundred and thirty more dollars to get a motel until the next day to get a car that was my experience
The parking and there were water dripping everywhere when u go in the door.
The employees were all kind and helpful. The airport itself was clean and well maintained. I went to get my dog that was shipped through cargo and was able to pick him up with no hassle.
Clean, friendly TSA, no lines. Easy access
Awesome airport. Very clean. Friendly staff. We missed arriving an hour early because when you Google Bakersfield Airport they send you to the municipal. Which is the wrong place in Meadows Field Airport is what has passenger transportation. Somehow it would be good if they could specify that with Google. This way it will not mislead anyone else in the future.
Cute little airport. Very friendly staff and Crew.
Good for a functional airport bad as a place to have to wait a long time. Food only blimpie is available and its insanely expensive even for airplane food 17$ footlongs... this place needs a second restaurant to compete.
Small airport, always get through within minutes. Very clean and felt safe, especially during covid. Nice to have the option not to drive to LAX and deal with a huge airport.
Google might direct you to the regional airport 20 mins away! Nice small airport.
Really good airport its very small and thats nice because it helps you get to your gate quickly without having to worry about missing your flight
Just spoke with a service rep and she was very kind and very helpful. Thank you so much 😊
Great little airport. Nice and quick service if you dont check in luggage. Fairly quick security checj through especially you are TSA precheck.
I used to fly into LA, then find a ride or bus to Bakersfield to save some money on the flight. Never again. Airport has super easy access, no traffic issues, small convenient airport.
Peaceful, but so foggy last night!I like the fact that this place doesnt get bad.
Small airport never any crowed lines or any bad service. I go to this airport every time to pick up and drop off my boyfriend and so far Ive never seen any bad service here. First, the parking is free (for 30 minutes) but you will be charged if you over stay in the parking lot. And secondly, the service in the airport is amazing. Never have I ever seen any rude employees and I think thats because how this airport is never really that busy and crowded like most bigger airports. There are also taxi cabs waiting outside if you dont have a ride planned.
I’m giving it 5-stars for the staff. Everyone is friendly, including TSA, and the American Airlines check-in staff are super helpful.It’s also a lovely building.One of the nicest airport experiences I’ve had in the US.
I been there during Gallaudet University time. It was only and one place to be aired in Bakersfield California. So it is very nice and so simply airplane and rent a car business for 18 years old or over people to be independent on their own. So neat. Not bad food there. Customer service is so well being paitence with clients. No trouble on laws for Meadows Field Airport only if you guys behave well.
Its a smaller airport for sure. Rental car return is self service, so it may slow down a person whose in a hurry. Luckily, the fact that its not a big airport, this may help you make up some time.
Nice small local airport with limited facilities but very clean and organized. Best TSA experience of any of the other airports, they are very thorough but very courteous and accommodating.
This is a small airport with a big personality. Its not really busy and has a small town feel to it. Baggage claim can take awhile, especially at night. Theres not much in the way of shopping or eating, but its very clean. Theres also convenient parking right in front of the airport. If you need to to go Bakersfield this is definitely a better choice than LAX. I just wish United offered more than 2 direct flight a day.
Really disappointed. They have really lost their customer service focus its been several years since I have traveled out of there and you can certainly tell the difference. Probably wont use that airport again.
By far the best large airport in Bakersfield. And a million times better than driving to LAX.
Don‘t bother showing up early for your flight. The entire crew (especially United) won’t show up until an hour before. Somehow, an airport that only has 10 flights a day still manages to have delays. No ride sharing available either. Probably one of the worst - if not the worst airport I’ve visited.
Great local airport. Easy to navigate, friendly employees from TSA to vendors! Landed here coming in from Phoenix.
I like the convenience of going through the security and check in process quickly due to it being a small airport!
Nice clean quite airport
Airfare is pricey. Also, they don’t allow Uber or Lyft drivers to pick you up there. So, expect to pay double and wait double time for a cab company. Also, most cab companies charge $2.50 to use your credit card. I want to remind everyone it’s 2018. Let’s get with the program to help travelers keep traveling so you can use this nice little airport.
Check in personal are great. However supervisor at gate was horrible.I had a issue that my seats had been changed,and I am disabled and paid extra for those seats. She was very loud and snippy. She refused to take the time to help me.So the flight was misberale for me. I needed the row 1 leg room, I have arthritis and needed the extra room to stretch my legs to prevent bloodclots.The airport is very nice. The airline not very good.
Nice and clean. Location great.
Very nice little airport with friendly people.Nice place to get away for a day.
Very clean and super easy to navigate!
First time experience not so good but second time was amazing! Got from the front door to the airplane in less than 10 minutes! Recommendation: check in on your phone before arriving to the airport! Saves you like 30 minutes!
It is super accessible, clean, fast. I love traveling from this airport for being so fast
Not real busy tsa was great well organized and quick airport was clean and well signed easy to find what you needed
There are only a few places you can fly directly to from BFL (Phoenix, Dallas, etc). But you can pretty much connect from those to anywhere else you need to get to. The flight is certainly a little costlier than flying out of LAX or SFO but thats the cost of convenience if you live in Bakersfield and dont want to drive to a nearby major airport. My family and I frequently fly to PHX to visit the in laws and thus BFL certainly gets the job done for us. We really like the small confines of the airport as it makes checking in and passing security check point a quick breeze. Lastly the airport is extremely clean and well maintained all around.
I was in the car rental part. Very quiet,calm and clean place and the lady that helped me at budget was incredibly friendly.
Horrible airport. I left my vehicle here for 4 days and my gas tank was completely siphoned horrible security efforts here. They made me pay 40 dollars to park but stole over that in gas. Thankfully I had a second gas tank so I could drive home. Never coming back to this place again always Fresno
Nice, small airport. Dont bother being there early for a United flight. They dont get there until an hour before the flight...
Currently sitting at the airport and have been here for about an hour. Not a single person is wearing a mask after TSA, and I haven’t seen a single person come around to sanitize. Get it together, BFL.
Easy in and easy out. If you use uber or Luft you cannot be picked up at the airport. You have to walk out to the main road about a third of a mile. Servicing flights of continental, United, American Airlines and Southwest. Easiest airport to get in and out of.
The airport staff were helpful, patient, and efficient. I used the directions in google instead of the address and it took me to the old airport. I did suggest the edit to the location on the map.
Small airport short lines and easy check in. Only problem was my Uber ride could only get me to the edge of airport property and I had to walk through long term parking lot to get to check in to my United flight...
One of the worst travel experiences ever. Will avoid flying out of Bakersfield in the future. Both American and United try hard to ruin your day and they do a good job of it. Flight was delayed so badly due to Americans unbelievable disorganization that they were driving people to Burbank and LAX, so they could try to catch flights on real airlines. This airport should be closed, if this is the best they can do.
Unless youre doing self check-in, arrive two days before your flight, nobody is at the counters, ever!
Its a very nice, clean & uncrowded airport. No need to come 2 hours prior to your schedule boarding time.
Simple and easy access airport. I like traveling from it. Facility is clean, parking lots are available, very good services.
Overstaffed TSA over zealous tsa they took my toothpaste I guess he cracked the case in Bakersfield. He deserves a medal,
Very nice airport. Small, clean and friendly staff.
The bad: Parking fees are outrageous, baggage claim takes forever when you land.The good: usually security is very quick and it’s nice to not have the hassle of LAX;
Easy access. No traffic. Very convenient.
The airport is small and clean, easy in and out, but be aware it is not a TSA Pre-check airport.
Very clean, quiet place now, TSA is fast, it doesnt have pre-check service
BFL is a small airport that is clean, not cluttered, and really pretty. Its great if you want to catch a connecting flight, or even just fly somewhere else.
Everytime I come here its clean and ready to serve. The Car rental companies are well staffed and professional.
This is the best airport where I like to travel to and from. Unlike TSA from other airports (especially LA), they always wear smile and polite.
Great little airport, very friendly, a little more expensive but avoids the grapevine which is huge in the winter. Would recommend it
Great small airport. Remember to go to the rental car area to get your keys before going outside as they assign you a car.
Nice
Great small airport, not crowded, security is quick.parking is close.
A small, 5 gate airport that is very well designed and incredibly clean. There is a Blimpies that serves breakfast and lunch and other random snacks inside the secure area. The TSA line rarely takes longer than 30 mins (I do take the early flights though). Free, unsecured WiFi is available inside the airport. the Bakersfield Meadows Field airport is a ten times better experience than LAX even if it is more expensive.
Great together small airport, easy to get around and fly out, and heck with going to La, unless its the best way for you, or your taking an international flight, but to go anywhere in the US, and connect easy, why not, and you might pay a little more, but well worth it, compared to Lax,or Burbank even.
This is a great airport to fly in/out of, especially if you live in the southern portion of the Central Valley. Theres direct flights to Denver, Houston, Phoenix, LA, and San Francisco, giving you plenty of one-stop connections. The airport is also very clean, new, relaxing, and so easy to breeze through. Oh, and theres free Wi-Fi.A lot of people think its always cheaper to use LAX or Burbank, but in truth--if you do your research ahead of time--BFL can actually be a better deal. Since Im from Bakersfield, Ive used BFL and all of the LA-regional airports several times over the past 10 years. If you search for flights at just the right time and utilize several booking websites, there are times when the price difference between LAX and BFL is from only $50 to $150.If you really think about it, using LAX has additional costs beyond the flight reservation. If you take an airport shuttle, theres that added expense. Or, if you make your family come pick you up, youre forcing them to purchase gas for not just two trips to the airport, but also two trips back to Bakersfield (quite a bit of gas!). And then, you have to deal with the long drive, the traffic, and wear and tear on your vehicle, and just the general hassle (and headaches) of LAX.Ill give it to the people of Bakersfield that flying with a group (like a family of five) can be much more expensive out of BFL. However, if youre just one person flying, in my opinion, it makes more sense to use BFL (so long as the ticket price is only up to $150 more). And besides, this airport is not going to get additional (and cheaper) flights if the locals dont support it. You only have to look just north at Fresno to see that an airport in the valley can be successful, especially when the locals arent driving 100 miles away to another airport.
Ive always enjoyed flying out of Bakersfield. It’s quick fast and friendly. Hardly any wait. TSA is one of the friendliest around. Way better then Fresno. Lol.
Always a pleasure to fly in & out of this airport. Efficient, friendly and clean 👌
Airport nice... Do NOT fly united. Arrived 5 days late and checked bags are still missing. Nobody will answer the phone at the united desk.
Im not quite sure that this isnt the slowest terminal that Ive ever seen to get your luggage to you. Its been 52 minutes since the flight landed and still no luggage! Someone please...WAKE UP! Waiting for luggage is turning out to be longer than the flight itself
Nice little airport but doesnt allow rideshare pick-ups which is a major issue since taxi service sucks.
This is the worst experience I have ever had traveling. We arrived over an hour early and missed our flight due to the TSA. I only had a limited amount of time off so we had to fly to save time. I will never use this airport again.
Boring. Nothing happening here.TSA agents wander around to and from their office while waiting for passengers and airplanes
Nice & clean, small modern airport with free Wi-Fi. Also, the first 30 minutes in short term parking is free.
They stranded my grandfather for 4 hours at the middle of no where and it was very hot and they said he could not leave the car and they did not send a person to wait with the car they made him wait in the sun and he had to wait for 4 hours and he is 78 years old and no one should go there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s ok I mean they only have a few flights and that’s it they need to upgrade this place I live in Fresno but I’ve been here u do things quick but only not that many flights
Nice, small, friendly airport
Love this airport. Always try and fly in and out of here when on west coast.
Nice facility but only selective cities to fly to. Never going to change, always will be a small town airport.
Small airport, limited flights but not crowded at all. Normally no waits at TSA
Great place to fly out of.
Very Nice
Really nice facility. But why cant you get free, short-term parking?
In this place the car rental employees are not using covid 19 precautions, no gloves, no masks. Omg
Not their fault Untied cannot fly on time.
Crazy Place! Huge militaryy planes landing! I saw the E-3 AW ACS earlier today!
Small airport. Good service. Easy!!
Very bad customer service and rude employees. If there was 0 starts that’s what I would give it. DONT recommend at all.
Was there at an RV storage for. A project they have their own police patrol very clean
Small and efficient, clean and friendly. A nice airport to fly in and out of without the angst and loathing of larger sites.
Just ok. 8:30 on a Friday night and everything shut up tight.
My daughter arrived from North Carolina and upon her arrival her bags were flawlessly handled in the parking was plentiful
As with all small airports, this one is easy to move in and out.
I reserved for a car at budget at 6 am. When I got there I had to wait 2 hours to get my car.
I find it very hard to get information on whether people are quarantine to the area of arrival. All I get is an animated voice.
It was very clean and nice taxi was waiting.☺️
Waited an hour to get luggage because they waited for another plane to arrive so they didnt have to do double work. Pathetic
TSA staff are friendly and efficient
VERY PRETTY! EVEN THAT THE FLIGHT LEFT A LITTLE TO ARRIVE BAKERSFIEL I CAN NOT COMPLAIN BECAUSE IT WAS NOT BAD ... I ONLY HAD TO WAIT FOR THE SUITCASES BECAUSE IT WAS BAD WEATHER AND THEY DELAYED ... BUT VERY GOOD SERVICE.
Great customer service and great cars; my Mother loves renting through them!
If you are going to the airport try to not use united airlines they are garbage.
Very nice and clean. Everyone polite.
Very bad experience renting a vehicle at this location. Went with Budget and they could not honor my PREPAID reservation.

I am not happy with no staff being at the airport to ask questions

2022-02-14I only visited to rent a car and was stranded outside for 8 hours. The young lady with Avis was super helpful, except their policy states that you must have an active credit card to rent though. She did her best to assist, however was unable to (thanks for the pizza slice though, I was famished after my wreck). The Enterprise counter was also super helpful, however they were fresh out of cars. Do not trust Hertz website for this facility, I had booked multiple cars and been unable to obtain any of them as their system doesnt match their stock.

2022-03-29I dont know HOW a delay is possible this early in the morning but for such a small airport, it happens apparently. I was going to give it 2 stars but this is such an inconvenience, I QUESTION how this airport is still in business. I have to wait over 5 HOURS! Why? This airport needs help. People seem nice so I changed from 1 star to 2
Review №3
2022-06-15The people who work TSA are completely incompetent. They act like they have such a tough and stressful or important job when there’s barely 5-10 flights out of here per day.Take some lessons from any major airport TSA and try to be kind or helpful.
Review №4
2022-05-11Easiest airport I’ve ever flown out of! Super empty, very easy to navigate, and TSA was actually very pleasant and nice! Would fly out of Meadows over any other airport any day!
Review №5
2022-02-11Excellent little airport in Bakersfield CA. Quick parking short walk to from airport main building.Some 4 car rental companies on site. Few airlines using this airport and loved the quick TSA process.
Review №6
2022-06-27The line can get very long so be at least 2hr early for flights. And there is no PreCheck lines. TSA is very nice and helpful.
Review №7
2022-06-15Extremely efficient airport. Security is a breeze and the gates are well marked and easy to find.
Review №8
2020-08-10Great airport with plenty of parking and easy access. Clean, easy access from i99 take Olive or Airport off ramps. Airport is newer and modern. All the major car rental firms have counters here. No international flights but easy access from this airport to the major hubs like LAX and SFO
Review №9
2022-01-05So quick and easy to board, deboard and just one carousel for baggage claim. TSA is quick and polite. What a wonderful way to take our initial flight and end our flight.
Review №10
2019-03-22I love landing at Bakersfield Meadows Airport!What I love the most: You can literally show up at this airport 30 minutes before your flight leaves and easily make your flight on time. Smaller airport means you dont have massive lines. You walk in, go straight to the kiosk, print out your ticket, go straight to the TSA screening, and be in your terminal within 15 minutes.What Id like to see more of: Food and restaurants. I know its small and they probably dont have enough traffic but it would be cool if they had more places to eat at. They only have 1 place.Rental Cars: They have 4 different rental car companies to choose from which is more than enough options. Easy to quickly get off the plane and into your car.
