  • CLE Airport Overview
    Cleveland Hopkins International Airport CLE is located about 10 miles southwest of the city of Cleveland, Ohio, and accessible via Interstate Hwys 71, 77, 271 & 480. It is the largest commercial airport in northeast Ohio. The Airport has two runways, handles an incredible number of flights per week to over 80 destinations, and is the hub for Continental / Continental Express. A host of major airlines serve the airport with direct and connecting flights to all points of the globe. International direct-flights include England, Mexico and Canada. In 2008 the Airport counted 11.1 million passengers. Noteworthy is that CLE rarely closes due to inclement weather conditions, in large part due to the efforts of its efficient snow removal team. Even during the worst winter of 2005 it had the best on-time departure rate of any airport in the country.

    The passenger terminal consists of a two-level main terminal, with Concourses A, B & C, as well as Concourse D, which is connected by underground tunnel to Concourse C. Terminal amenities include: an information desk (betw. SW Airlines ticket counter & security checkpoint B); Airport Ambassadors with gold blazers located throughout the terminal, ready to help; airline lounges and conference & meeting rooms; currency exchange; bank and ATM services; Convention & Visitors desk, restaurants and shops, interfaith chapel, medical care station; lost baggage, smoking areas, Travelers Aid, post office and USO facilities.

    Cleveland Hopkins has also plenty of parking options available 24/7, including two parking garages--the hourly/daily and the long-term garages--connected via a bridge. To pick up an arriving passenger, you can park for 30 minutes free on the first floor of the hourly/daily garage--if no space is available on this floor, park in the first available space and advise the booth attendant when exiting that no 30-minute spaces were available. Automatic ticket dispensers for parking garage tickets are at the entrances of both garages. Upon exit, present the parking ticket to the cashier in the exit booth. Payment for parking can be made in cash, by personal check or by using credit cards. There is a new on-airport 640-space, $7/day, Economy Shuttle Parking lot--just turn right at Park Road across from the Sheraton Hotel. Shuttle service continuously runs through the North Economy Parking lot and will take you to the Terminal entrance. The North lot is credit card only; no reservations are needed. There is also an Overflow lot at the back entrance to the Short-term Parking Garage, on Park Road, at $7/day. Floors in the Parking Garages and shuttle lot are color-coded--take a note of your color and row number. The charge for Smarte Cartes is $2. ATMs are on levels 1 & 3 of the elevator lobby between both garages and the terminal.

    Cleveland Hopkins International Airport has a consolidated off-airport rental car facility with continuous shuttle service 24/7 about every 5-7 minutes. Shuttles are located on the lower roadway island and can be accessed by exiting from Door 5 on the baggage claim level of the main terminal. The telephone center near the door has rental car information. To get to the City and beyond, you can either rent a car, take a taxi or limo, or take the LCT bus departing from the terminal's ticketing level outside United's ticket counter, which runs to the Elyria Park and Ride station in Elyria, Ohio and Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio. The Airport's Ground Transportation Services Office is on the baggage claim lower level of the main terminal, between doors 1 and 2, across from carousel 3. While the office is responsible for management of all forms of ground transportation including taxis, shuttles, and limousines, they do no make arrangements for any public transportation.
