⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had an absolutely fantastic experience flying into Altoona (AOO) in late July. From start to finish, everything was convenient, relaxing, and surprisingly stress-free — a rare combo when it comes to air travel these days!
A huge shoutout to the staff at AOO Altoona Regional Airport for their friendly and welcoming vibe. The airport is small but mighty — clean, efficient, and easy to navigate. No long lines, no chaos… just in and out with ease.
Contour Airlines made the trip from Tampa (via Charlotte) incredibly smooth. The flight was comfortable, on-time, and hassle-free. Honestly, I can't thank Contour and the Airport Authority enough for making it so easy to get back to Blair County after nearly 8 years away.
And last but not least, the Avis Car Rental team at AOO was excellent. Super helpful, quick check-in and return process, and the vehicle was in great shape.

I gave this 2 stars because the Mexican restaurant there is at...
Read moreFirst the Airport itself is a 5 Star. Friendly staff who tries there best. Contour Airlines is zero stars. 3 cancellations in a row in a two day period leaving me stranded in Philadelphia with no way to Altoona. Use caution when booking Contour. They didn't even offer a refund. There were other passengers stranded in Philadelphia for 2 days because of Contours cancellations with no explanation. The notice given a flight was cancelled was literally by boarding time. I am so frustrated beyond words and will never fly this...
