# South Bend International Airport (SBN)
South Bend, United States · North America
South Bend’s county-owned one-hall field: a South Shore train in the terminal, a $13 Long-Term lot, five live airline names, and a front drive that stays a construction site into 2027 — with no passenger lounge.
## Airportist Score

**7.1 / 10**
Weighted sum of the six published categories (no holistic fudge).
- Ease of use (25%): 8.2 — Wayfinding, security wait, and layout.
- Comfort & amenities (20%): 7.3 — Seating, Wi-Fi, cleanliness, and quiet.
- Food & retail (15%): 6.8 — Food and retail quality and variety.
- Ground access (15%): 8.6 — Transit, taxi, and parking to the city.
- Reliability (15%): 7.4 — Delays, cancellations, and weather resilience.
- Lounges (10%): 2.0 — Worth-it density and access quality.

## At a glance

- Passengers: 1,111,002
- Terminals: 1 Main Terminal
- Typical security: 12 min
- On-time: 77%
- Disruption: minor

## Best for

- Origin-and-destination trips that can live with one checkpoint and a $13 Long-Term lot
- Chicago-bound travelers who will ride the in-terminal South Shore instead of connecting at ORD
- Notre Dame weekends if you will take the official two-hour clock and skip the closed Short-Term lot
- Empty-bottle travelers who will use the mapped filler between Gates 6 and 7

## Watch out for

- Assuming Priority Pass, Escape, or an airline club exists (live PP / Escape have no SBN pin)
- Treating American ORD as a jet before 5 Oct 2026 — leftover Landline motorcoach through 4 Oct
- Treating leftover Breeze RSW, leftover Allegiant Knoxville, or leftover Chocolate Café hours as live
- Waiting on the front drive or walking to Doors B/C — leftover closed for SBN UpFront
