๐ข Terminal Information
Del Rio International Airport (KDRT) serves as a critical U.S.-Mexico border gateway located two miles northwest of Del Rio, Texas, in Val Verde County at 1,002 feet elevation on 268 acres. The airport operates with a single asphalt runway 13/31 measuring 6,300 by 100 feet, currently undergoing a 1,500-foot expansion that will extend total length to 7,800 feet to accommodate larger aircraft operations and enhanced border security requirements.
The modern terminal building features counter space for two airlines, a large post-security waiting area with restrooms and vending services, plus one baggage carousel serving the facility's role as a designated port of entry with U.S. Customs and Border Protection services manned from the Del Rio Port of Entry. The terminal provides two aircraft parking positions plus a third position exclusively for customs screening operations, supporting general aviation, international arrivals, and training flights from nearby Laughlin Air Force Base.
While commercial airline service ended in April 2023 when American Airlines' twice-daily SkyWest CRJ-700 operations ceased, the airport continues essential functions with approximately 15,357 annual aircraft operations (83% general aviation, 9% former airline, 8% air taxi). The facility maintains critical importance for cross-border aviation, emergency services, government operations, and general aviation serving the Rio Grande border region, providing essential customs and immigration clearance for international flights between the United States and Mexico.

๐ข Terminal Information
Lehigh Valley International Airport (ABE) in Allentown, Pennsylvania, USA, serves as a regional airport facilitating domestic flights for the Lehigh Valley metropolitan area. The airport operates from a single, modern terminal building designed for efficient passenger processing and comfort. Its layout is straightforward and compact, featuring integrated areas for check-in, security screening, and departure gates, all within close proximity. All essential services are contained within this singular structure, eliminating the need for complex inter-terminal connections or transfers. Walking times within the terminal are minimal, typically ranging from 5 to 15 minutes to reach most gates, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience for passengers.\n\nSecurity procedures at ABE adhere to Transportation Security Administration (TSA) standards. Passengers can expect thorough screening protocols for both carry-on and checked baggage, along with personal security checks. The airport generally experiences reasonable wait times at security checkpoints, rarely exceeding 15-20 minutes even during peak travel periods, benefiting from its well-managed operations and moderate passenger volume. As ABE primarily handles domestic flights, there are no international immigration or customs facilities on site; these functions would be processed at larger international airports if connecting from an international flight. The emphasis of security and operational processes is on facilitating smooth and efficient domestic air travel within the region.\n\nAmenities at Lehigh Valley International Airport are well-appointed for a regional facility. While there are no extensive luxury airline lounges, comfortable waiting areas with charging stations are available. Dining options typically include a few cafes and snack bars, offering beverages, light meals, and some local selections. Retail facilities are modest, including a newsstand or small shop for travel essentials and souvenirs. Accessibility features are robust, with barrier-free access, accessible restrooms, elevators, and dedicated services for passengers with reduced mobility available upon request. Family facilities, such as children's play areas or baby changing rooms, are typically available, making travel with young children more convenient. Free Wi-Fi is generally available throughout the terminal.
