Traveling via plane is fun — jet-setting over beautiful blue waters or rolling hills, taking in cloud formations, and landing in a completely different location in a matter of hours is unlike anything else.

The whole navigating the airport part? Less exciting, and sometimes pretty stressful. To help make your time at the Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport (GSP) as smooth as possible, we’ve created a guide that covers everything from parking to details on the airport’s nonstop flights to 24 US destinations.

What to know

TSA | On average, it takes ~17 minutes to get through.
Map it out | If you’re like us and need to completely visualize a place before you step foot inside, this map of the entire airport will be your saving grace.
Food and drink | Grab a bite from the new Sully's Steamers or a brew from Triumph Taproom before your flight.
Reminder | You need a REAL ID to board commercial flights in the US.
Flight status | While we recommend staying updated via your respective airline, you can also check the airport’s dashboard for your flight status in a pinch.
Hang out | Enjoy some fresh air and mountain views in the Airside Garden, observe the work of local artists in the Connections Gallery, let your kids burn off some steam in the GSPlay area, or get to work in the Escape Pods.

Parking, shuttles, and rideshare

Not everyone has a bestie who will drop everything to pick them up from their 3 a.m. landing, so there are three parking options:

Garage A, Garage B, and Garage C | $19/day
Economy | $10/day
Valet | $26/day

Garages A and B are straight ahead as you approach GSP Drive via Aviation Parkway, and Garage C is to the right on GSP Drive.

The economy lots are located on Aviation Parkway and GSP Drive and are accessible by shuttle service 24/7, seven days a week.

Pro tip: You can pre-book your airport parking to save time and money, guaranteeing your spot in the parking lot of your choosing. Pre-book here.
