Locals applaud the rare combination of quick access from parking to your gate — often in under 20 minutes during off-peak hours. This speed doesn't compromise on variety; you'll find sit-down dining options and locally recognized Ironclad Coffee Roasters rather than the usual airport chains. At a glance Located roughly 7 miles southeast of downtown Richmond, RIC served 834,000 passengers in 2022. The airport features a single terminal catering to airlines like Allegiant, Delta, and Southwest. Whether by car, bus, or rideshare, reaching or leaving the airport is straightforward and manages to avoid the headaches of larger hubs.

_Time_: Launch into Concourse B if you're interested in better dining options; leave Concourses A to routine coffee breaks. - _Avoid_: Morning security lines can back up fast between 5 and 7 a.m.; aim to arrive 90 minutes early to save stress. - _Money_: Stick to Economy Parking A for the best shuttle experience at $7/day; it's slightly quicker and just as affordable as lot B. - _Quiet_: Head to the Inter-Faith Chapel on the lower level, open 24/7, for a tranquil spot to decompress. - _Local_: Grab Richmond-roasted coffee at Ironclad Coffee Roasters over any chain outlet for a true taste of local flavor. --- ## Live data Live arrivals, departures, and weather are not in this static reference.
