STL Airport Terminals

STL consists of 2 terminals located about half a mile from each other, with both accessible from I-70.

Terminal 1

Terminal 1 is the larger of the 2 terminals and operates domestic flights only. The main terminal building has 2 levels — arrivals on the lower level and departures on the upper level.

Final Thoughts

STL is one of the oldest municipal airports in the U.S., established in 1920.

With its own MetroLink light rail stations, STL has good transit links to St. Louis and Monroe County in Illinois. Despite the ease of getting to and from the city, STL ranked 19th in the Wall Street Journal survey for the 20 midsize U.S. airports. The airport ranked poorly for its average domestic fares and the cost of an Uber to the city center. It ranked slightly better for its on-time arrival average (8 of 20) and its TSA waiting time (6 of 20).

Are their restrictions due to Covid for picking up a passenger?

- Jarrod West December 4, 2020
  
  Hi Phyllis,
  
  According to the St. Louis airport website, it appears that the only requirement is that you wear a mask if you’re planning to enter the airport.
  
Amya December 11, 2020

Flying with delta, are you allowed to pay with cash for checked baggage?

- Jarrod West December 14, 2020
  
  Hi Amya,
  
  Delta does not accept cash or checks for their checked bags, you must pay with either a debit card or credit card.
  
Richard L DeWitt March 8, 2021

Currently where is the Terminal 1 passenger pickup area located? Is it still yellow level in the parking garage?

- Jarrod West March 9, 2021
  
  Hi Richard,
  
  Yes, that should be correct. Thanks for reading!
  
Kimberly Mott June 6, 2021

My daughters flight arrives at 1am on the morning of the 18th. Where do I pick her up at? This airport is very confusing to me.

- Jarrod West June 6, 2021
  
  Hi Kimberly,
  
  Ask your daughter which Terminal she will be flying into. Then, when you drive into the airport, follow the posted signs that state “Arrivals”, which will lead you to the arrivals section of the Terminal you need to pick her up at.
  
Kindra Eickelman August 22, 2021

My husband and I are first time flyers and are getting ready to fly out of STL. We are going to do the pre-check in the evening before our American Airlines flight but I am confused about checking our bags. It is my understanding that you check bags at the ticker counter at Lambert now, is that correct? And do we do that before or after the TSA check? I have looked everywhere and simply can’t find this information.

- Jarrod West August 23, 2021
  
  Hi Kindra,
  
  You will check your bags first when you arrive to the airport at the ticket desk. From there you will go through TSA and proceeded to your gate. Safe travels!
  
Evelyn Roob March 16, 2022

I have an upcoming connecting flight into STL on Southwest Airlines with a 3-hour layover. My sister and family live in nearby St. Charles that I would enjoy seeing. Several questions:. 1) If they came to the airport where would be the best place for us to get together at the airport? 2) Is there a place we could sit down for something to eat? 3) My sister is elderly and might need a wheelchair — are wheelchairs available? 4) If we were to meet, I presume I would need to just go back through security as if I were on an original flight when it comes time for my flight to leave. In other words is there anything special I need to do or anyone I need to talk with before exiting security and re-entering before my next flight? Thank you.

- Jarrod West March 25, 2022
  
  Hi Evelyn,
  
  There are food and drink options in Terminal 1 prior to security that you could meet at to have a meal. As far as wheelchairs go, you would have to speak to someone who works at the airport to see if they can accommodate that. You shouldn’t need to speak to anyone regarding going back through security, it is fine for you to exit the Terminal and then re-enter since you have a boarding pass.
  
  - Evelyn Roob March 27, 2022
    
    Thank you so much for your response!
