Greater Binghamton Airport — Local services in Town of Maine

It is hard to know where to start with reviewing this airport. Usually reviews are meant to help people decide whether or not they want to utilize the business for their convenience: with this I am hoping the management can really pick up their pace in recovering flights here. The Binghamton airport has shrunk significantly with no one really caring. They are down to three daily flights to Detroit serviced by Delta which will be down to two flights daily in January due to “Skywest needing to catch up on some maintenance”, that is a lie because if that was the case; Ithaca, Elmira and other nearby airports would lose a flight once a day as well. Binghamton airport has a larger population than Elmira or Ithaca yet the service is dwindling. Ten years ago there was nearly a dozen flights daily served by multiple carriers. Other airports across the country that serve metropolitans the size of Binghamton usually have at least Twenty daily flights. It has the people, it just loses them to other airports. People end up driving an hour for better options. There is absolutely no realistic explanation why the management can not switch things around and get Piedmont back for American Airlines to serve Philadelphia like they once did with six daily flights. Please at least get Piedmont back, for American Airlines to once again be an option! Delta should start an Atlanta service as well. There used to be some effort to at least try new things. There has not been a new service announcement for years now. Please, do not give up on something that is already there and is capable of a lot. The runways are capable of handling large aircraft. So please do not say that is what is stopping growth. Take chances and get the...

Avoid at all cost, I have had many misfortunes through this airport. Not the airport itself but some of the airlines that operate out of it. Left a valuable when I finally arrived back to the airport in a overhead after a 3 day delay by USAIR, met with indifference by airline "agents?" absolutely the least enthusiastic unconcerned people in the airline business. To date all my phone calls regarding the lost bag have been met with "your fault for leaving it" even though they were told exactly where the bag was left within 30 minutes of leaving it could have been sooner if they answered there phones. Apparently they have no way to communicate with destination gates for anything, and they don't check the overhead compartments for anything suspicious or lost before leaving? I'm a customer at least try to make me believe you care? If your flight gets canceled to or from this airport you will have big problems, 3 extra days to get back ? Quick example, leaving for a cruise and flying out a day early. Flight is delayed right before boarding, hours later informed the reason is not enough oxygen on the plane and the only mechanic assigned to the airport was first called to Elmira and he will be at the airport in a hour. Mechanic finally shows up, he does not have enough oxygen to satisfy the need, flight canceled all flights full out of Binghamton next 3 days. Lesson learned after 15 years of similar stress and problems flying from this airport and associated airlines, don't do it. Parking expenses are extortionary at this airport as well, check them against similar...

Literally the worst. Messed up seating so they had to reseat everyone right before the flight, but without a system. It was just them randomly putting people in seats. They also didn't even know what gate my flight was. THERE WAS ONLY ONE PLANE AT THE AIRPORT. The plane arrived early, but the staffs incompetence made it so no one could even board until 30 minutes after the flight was supposed to leave. Completely messed up my flight to get to a layover so I had to spend multiple other hours doing nothing in another airport, but at least they had a sense of what they were doing. Also, the security at Binghamton was awful. They opened up all my bags, and found nothing. Oh except a present that I wrapped for my parents which they confiscated. THEY WERE COASTERS!!!! What could I do with 6 wooden coasters!?!?!?!? I also realized that I had forgotten to take off my smart watch before I went through the security scanner so they didn't even notice that I had something on my watch. I cannot express how terrible this airport was through and through. Don't book anything...
