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.

Fine little airport for the area. Only a small coffee shop restaurant before security and vending machines after security by the gate. Two stars because the tsa agents at security were so snarky and rude. My partner and I have both traveled a lot, been through many airports/airport security and never been treated so poorly by security staff. Specifically the bald man with darker facial hair. Very condescending, on a power trip. We know the drill and how to put things in the bins but he was still raising his voice sarcastically at us while barking orders as if we were children. All the other employees, at the desks and the gate were kind. Additionally, a downside to this airport being so small is if any issues arise with the planes, and flights are delayed or cancelled you might not get out of humboldt for a few days. Our United flight got delayed for five hours because the plane was having issues and they had to fly a mechanic up from LA to work on the plane. There were no other planes available at the time and no flights to our connecting airport for two days. We ended up missing our connecting flight because of the delay.
