  • RNO Airport Overview
    Reno/Tahoe International Airport RNO is located in Reno, north-west Nevada, off Interstate 80, and it is the gateway to Reno’s casinos. Recently RNO Airport was named one of the most efficient airports in North America. The Airport is only a 30-minute drive from the Sierra Nevada mountains and the year-round recreational playground of Lake Tahoe. Major airlines serve the Airport, offering nonstop flights to multiple destinations, with connections to all points of the globe. Southwest Airlines is one of the largest airlines at RNO airport connecting Reno to Las Vegas, Phoenix and Seattle, among other destinations.

    Serving a popular vacation spot and a growing city, the airport has seen passenger traffic increase considerably. Yet, Reno RNO airport still operates out of the original terminal building that was opened in 1960 - just in time for the Squaw Valley Winter Olympics. The terminal has seen some renovations over the years and it remains a compact and easy-to-navigate facility. However, because of difficult check-in and screening procedures, it has undertaken a 22-month construction program which is now near completion.
    The Airport Baggage Check-in Project ('ABC') will result in a making the ticket lobby faster and more efficient. A new lobby with one-stop check-in at the ticket counters is constructed simultaneously. Upon ABC's completion the TSA machines and staff will screen bags in a separate facility. That means travelers can check in and check in their bags at one counter, a one-stop check-in process in an uncluttered lobby. A vastly improved lobby will not only reflect the beauty of the region, but offer passengers a high-tech service experience, enabling them to check in at the counter and leave their bags with an airline representative.
    Amenities at the passenger terminal include a host of restaurants/bars/lounges & shops; books, newspapers, snacks & Gifts are available in Concourses B & C.

    If you need to pick up a passenger at the Airport, you have the option of using the free Cell Phone Waiting Lot--stay with your vehicle until your party has collected luggage and calls you to be picked up at the curb; or you can park in the Short-Term parking section of the garage. You can access the Lot from either the intersection of Plumb Lane and Terminal, or from Highway 39, use the far-right lane and make a right turn into the Cell Phone Waiting Lot. Clear signage is posted. Other parking options are:
    1. The Airport offers a safe and well-lit three-level parking garage, across from the passenger terminal, with Short- and Long-Term parking options. Its open-air third level has another 850 spaces for Long-Term parking. Height restrictions are 7.7 feet on the first level and 8.2 feet on the 2d (long-term) level. Cash, American Express, Discover, Master Card, and Visa are accepted.
    2. The Long-Term Parking (Surface Lot) is right next to the Parking Garage.
