About Eppley Airfield
Eppley Airfield is a mid-sized regional hub that punches above its weight for a city of 500K people, thanks to Southwest Airlines' significant presence here. The airport handles roughly 4.5 million passengers annually and serves as a connection point for the central plains. Don't expect a massive international terminal — this is a domestic-first airport with limited nonstop international flights — but Southwest's network from here is genuinely useful for reaching West Coast and Mexico City cheaply. The airport itself is modern, not crowded during off-peak hours, and significantly less chaotic than Denver or Kansas City, which makes it weirdly pleasant for a regional hub.
Terminals & Airlines
Eppley operates with a single, unified terminal building — no terminal confusion here. Southwest dominates the main gates (roughly 60% of operations), United has a smaller presence, and Alaska, Delta, and American operate from the same concourse. All airlines use the same security checkpoint and baggage claim, which means connections are genuinely smooth if you're transiting.
Getting to the Airport
Uber/Lyft from downtown Omaha (Benson district) runs $18-26 for a 15-20 minute ride depending on time of day; surge pricing during rush hour can push it to $35. Alamo Rent-A-Car provides a shuttle for free if you're renting, picking up from major downtown hotels. No public transit shuttle exists — Omaha's Metro Transit has no dedicated airport bus line, making a car or rideshare your only practical option. Taxi from downtown is roughly $25-30 flat rate but slow to arrive.
Parking
Short-term parking is $3/hour ($24 max daily) and genuinely convenient — the lot is steps from the terminal. Long-term parking runs $12/day and fills up slowly even during peak travel, so you won't hunt forever for a spot. If you're parking 5+ days, use the offsite 'Park Omaha' lot ($7/day) with free shuttle service — it's a 5-minute wait but saves $25 on a week-long trip. Valet is $18/day if you value zero walking with luggage.

Pro Tips for Flying from Omaha
Southwest operates a massive hub here — check OMA as your origin even if you live 2 hours away in Kansas City or Lincoln. Fares from Omaha are often $40-80 cheaper than MCI or LNK for the same route because of Southwest's capacity.
Eppley has zero international terminal — if you're flying to Europe, Asia, or anywhere requiring customs prep, you'll connect in Denver (DEN), Dallas (DFW), or Phoenix (PHX). Factor in 2-3 hour connection minimums.
The airport is genuinely quiet 6am-8am on weekdays. If you can book early morning flights, security lines evaporate and you'll walk on within 5 minutes.
Download the Omaha Airport WiFi before arrival — it's free but requires enrollment at the kiosk. Speeds are decent for email but choppy for streaming.
