Pro Tips

  • MetroLink is a convenient and affordable way to reach downtown St. Louis and Union Station.
  • STL is well-sized for a mid-major city — security is fast and concourses are easy to navigate.
  • Parking is reasonably priced at STL compared to the coasts; economy lots are the best value.
  • Southwest's heavy presence means competitive fares to most major US cities from STL.
  • The Gateway Arch is about 20 min from the airport by rail — a great excursion even for a long layover.
  • St. Louis weather (tornadoes and severe thunderstorms in spring/summer) can delay departures occasionally.
  • The airport infrastructure is large for current traffic levels — uncrowded and well-spaced.
