# Appleton International Airport (ATW)
Appleton, United States · North America
Northeast Wisconsin’s scheduled passenger field: one hall, five live airlines, no lounge, a $15 Long-Term lot, and an About page that still prints 22 destinations after a May 2026 leftover called SNA the 23rd route.
## Airportist Score

**7.1 / 10**
Weighted sum of the six published categories (no holistic fudge).
- Ease of use (25%): 8.5 — Wayfinding, security wait, and layout.
- Comfort & amenities (20%): 7.6 — Seating, Wi-Fi, cleanliness, and quiet.
- Food & retail (15%): 7.3 — Food and retail quality and variety.
- Ground access (15%): 7.2 — Transit, taxi, and parking to the city.
- Reliability (15%): 7.5 — Delays, cancellations, and weather resilience.
- Lounges (10%): 2.0 — Worth-it density and access quality.

## At a glance

- Passengers: 1,267,634
- Terminals: 1 Main Terminal
- Typical security: 12 min
- On-time: 75%
- Disruption: normal

## Best for

- Fox Cities / Outagamie County origin-and-destination trips that can live with a $15 Long-Term lot and a 15-minute drive
- American / Delta / United hoppers who will eat at Fratellos or weekday Central Kitchen before the last departure
- Travelers who will use the free Arrivals Waiting Lot or Express Park key drop instead of circling Short-Term

## Watch out for

- Assuming Priority Pass, Escape, or an Admirals Club exists (live PP / Escape have no ATW pin; American.com clubs Not Available)
- Treating the May 2026 leftover 23rd-route card as a live dest count — the 14 Sep 2026 flights page prints 22 destination cards
- Treating Grain & Grind as open — official dine card still says COMING WINTER 2026
- Treating GRB, MSN, MKE, OSH, CWA, or KATW as this airport
