๐ข Terminal Information
Will Rogers World Airport operates a single integrated terminal with east and west concourses radiating from a central atrium. Ticketing, security, and baggage claim are on the lower level, while departures and gate areas sit one level above, keeping walks compact.
From the main checkpoint to the farthest gates on either concourse is generally a 6โ8 minute walk, with moving walkways along the spine speeding the trip. The concourses remain connected airside, so passengers can reach any gate after clearing security without re-screening.
Security is centralized just beyond the ticketing lobby with dedicated PreCheck and priority lanes; typical waits stay around 10โ15 minutes, though early-morning business peaks can create 20โ25 minute lines. CLEAR kiosks are not present, so plan extra time if traveling during peak hours.
Customs facilities are limited to occasional charter and military arrivals, which are processed in a small Federal Inspection Station adjacent to baggage claim; most commercial traffic is domestic. Re-check desks sit beside baggage claim for passengers continuing onward on the same carrier.
Amenities include the Will Rogers World Airport Lounge (an American Airlines Admirals Club partner space) near the center of the concourse, local restaurants like Tuckerโs Onion Burgers and Fuzzyโs Taco Shop, and multiple grab-and-go markets. Nursing rooms flank the checkpoint, family restrooms are marked near most gate clusters, and the terminalโs wide concourses plus elevators at each escalator bank support accessible routes.
๐ Connection Tips
Allow time for terminal transfers; gates are well-spread across the facility.

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.
