# Corpus Christi International Airport (CRP)
Corpus Christi, United States · North America
A compact one-TSA Hayden W. Head hall with 3 free parking hours and leftover $10 Long-Term — no ticketed lounge, a City leftover that still names Frontier after the 17 Aug 2026 DEN exit, and a live 15 Sep 2026 FIDS that is American Eagle, United Express, and Southwest only.
## Airportist Score

**7.2 / 10**
Weighted sum of the six published categories (no holistic fudge).
- Ease of use (25%): 8.6 — 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%): 7.4 — Transit, taxi, and parking to the city.
- Reliability (15%): 7.6 — Delays, cancellations, and weather resilience.
- Lounges (10%): 2.0 — Worth-it density and access quality.

## At a glance

- Passengers: 758,987
- Terminals: 1 scheduled-pax hall
- Typical security: 8 min
- On-time: 85%
- Disruption: minor

## Best for

- Drive-up Coastal Bend trips that want leftover 3 free hours then $10 Long-Term
- Early DFW / IAH / HOU banks that can use American leftover PreCheck in a one-checkpoint hall
- Arrivals who will take an official leftover taxi or a rental from bag claim rather than wait for a bus or rail that does not exist at this curb

## Watch out for

- No ticketed lounge; official leftover Nueces patio is a bar/observation deck, not Priority Pass
- City leftover still names Frontier after AeroRoutes leftover last DEN flight 17 Aug 2026
- Official leftover does not print Uber/Lyft names; no CCRTA fixed route (Route 3 leftover is NAS / NGP)
- City leftover FY2025 758,968 vs official GAR 758,987 — leftover vs leftover; AirNav leftover manager Kevin Smith vs live Director Richard McCurley
