Baggage handling
Complaint: Rental car shuttle was hard to findAlba from Jersey City, NJ | Ground Transportation | Reviewed March 9, 2026
★★☆☆☆ 1.5

Finding the rental car shuttle took too much guessing. The signs pointed generally outside, but not to the exact pickup lane, and airport staff gave different directions. After a long flight, ground transportation should be easier than this.

Complaint: Parking payment machine failed twiceRenee from Brooklyn, NY | Parking Payment | Reviewed June 28, 2026
★★☆☆☆ 1.6

The parking garage payment machine rejected two cards and then printed a blank receipt. There was a help button, but it took a while before anyone answered. Leaving Avalon Airport on June 28, 2026 took longer than the actual drive home.

Review: Baggage claim was fast and organizedNina from San Diego, CA | Baggage Claim | Reviewed September 29, 2026
★★★★★ 4.5

After a long flight, I mostly wanted the bags to come out quickly. At Avalon Airport, the carousel started within a reasonable time, the belt number was easy to find, and staff kept the walkway clear for passengers collecting luggage.

Review: Clean terminal and easy check-inVictor from Austin, TX | Check-in Terminal | Reviewed March 9, 2026
★★★★★ 4.8

The check-in counters in Terminal A were easy to find, and the terminal felt clean during my visit. It was not a luxury experience, but Avalon Airport did the basics well: signs, counters, seating, and a clear path to security.

Review: Clear signage made the connection easierGeorge from Phoenix, AZ | Terminal Signs Connections | Reviewed July 7, 2026
★★★★☆ 4.3

I had a short connection and expected to get lost, but the signs inside Terminal 3 were easy to follow. The walking route, gate numbers, and transfer signs at Avalon Airport were clear enough that I did not need to stop and ask for directions.

Complaint: Wheelchair assistance was not readyChris from Seattle, WA | Special Assistance | Reviewed September 29, 2026
★☆☆☆☆ 1.2

Wheelchair assistance was requested in advance, but nobody was waiting when we arrived. We asked at two counters and still waited while boarding time got closer. Special assistance at Avalon Airport should not feel like a last-minute favor.

Complaint: Departure boards lagged behind announcementsStephen from Chicago, IL | Departures Flight Status | Reviewed April 24, 2026
★★☆☆☆ 1.8

The departure board near the baggage claim showed one gate while the announcement mentioned another. People started moving, then stopped, then moved again. At Avalon Airport, the screens and announcements need to match faster during gate changes.

Complaint: Baggage claim took too longPatricia from Denver, CO | Baggage Claim Customer Service | Reviewed July 7, 2026
★★☆☆☆ 1.6

Our bags did not appear for more than an hour, and the screen at baggage claim kept showing the same carousel number. The frustrating part was that no airport employee seemed to know if the belt was delayed or if the bags had been moved. For a late arrival on July 7, 2026, that wait felt endless.

Complaint: Restroom condition was poorTanya from Canton, CT | Terminal Cleanliness | Reviewed January 12, 2026
★★☆☆☆ 2

The restroom closest to our gate in Main Terminal needed attention badly. Paper was on the floor, two stalls were out of service, and the sink area looked like it had not been checked in hours. It gave a poor impression of Avalon Airport.

Complaint: Lounge access rules were unclearAman from Toronto, ON | Lounges Customer Service | Reviewed April 24, 2026
★★☆☆☆ 1.5

The lounge desk in Terminal A gave different answers about access rules than the airline app showed. After waiting in line, we were told a pass type was not accepted there. The rules should be clearer before passengers walk across the terminal.

Complaint: Security line moved with no explanationRobert from Orlando, FL | Security Wait Time | Reviewed August 20, 2026
★★☆☆☆ 1.6

The security checkpoint at Avalon Airport was the slowest part of my trip. Staff kept moving passengers between lanes in Terminal 3, but nobody explained which line was actually open. By the time I reached screening on August 20, 2026, several people around me were worried about missing boarding.

Review: Staff helped during a gate changeMala from Jersey City, NJ | Airport Staff Gate Change | Reviewed January 12, 2026
★★★★☆ 4.2

A gate change in Terminal 2 could have been messy, but one staff member stood near the old gate and redirected passengers. It was simple, practical help, and it kept a lot of people from walking in circles around Avalon Airport.

Review: Immigration queue was managed wellCarlos from Brooklyn, NY | Immigration Arrivals | Reviewed May 16, 2026
★★★★☆ 4.2

The immigration line looked long at first, but staff opened extra desks and kept families together. On May 16, 2026, the queue at Avalon Airport moved better than I expected for an international arrival.

Complaint: Charging points were brokenMark from San Diego, CA | Terminal Facilities | Reviewed August 20, 2026
★★☆☆☆ 1.7

Several charging points near the seating area in International Terminal did not work. Passengers kept moving from outlet to outlet trying to charge phones before boarding. It is a small facility issue, but it matters when boarding passes and ride apps are on those phones.

Complaint: Lost and found gave mixed answersMary from Austin, TX | Lost and Found | Reviewed February 18, 2026
★☆☆☆☆ 1.2

I left a small bag near the baggage claim and contacted lost and found the same day. One person said it had not been turned in, another said to wait 48 hours, and the online form never produced a useful update. The process at Avalon Airport felt disconnected.
