Steeped in history, Lambert Field International Airport began as a humble balloon-launching site. It holds the distinction of witnessing the Wright Brothers' pioneering flight and hosting a visit from President Theodore Roosevelt in 1903. The airport's narrative took a thrilling turn when Charles Lindbergh bid farewell to his duties at Lambert Field just a week before embarking on his legendary solo flight to Paris. In 1927, Lambert Field proudly became the nation's first airport owned by a municipality.
Nestled a mere 15 minutes away from the bustling heart of downtown St. Louis, Lambert Field offers seamless connections with 13 major airlines and various charter carriers. The airport is a haven of convenience, boasting amenities such as universally accessible restrooms, dedicated family assistance rooms, and a selection of major car rental desks. Commuters and travelers can also enjoy the efficient MetroLink light rail system, which forges a link between downtown St. Louis and numerous other destinations across its 37 stations and 46 miles of track.
Whether you're looking for a last-minute souvenir or a savory meal before your flight, Lambert Field has you covered with an array of shopping and dining experiences. The Wingtips lounge in Terminal 2 extends a warm invitation to guests for a nominal fee, offering a tranquil space to relax. For those who serve, the airport houses a USO lounge, providing a comforting retreat for active military members. Beyond relaxation, the terminals are peppered with a variety of restaurants and coffee shops, and for those needing to send off last-minute correspondence, a post office awaits on the lower level of the Main Terminal.
Lambert Field's architectural evolution is a testament to its growth, with the inaugural terminal building unveiled in 1933. The airport expanded in 1945 with the addition of a second terminal. The third and fourth terminals followed, completing the quartet in 1957 and 1965. Today, the airport operates with two terminals: Terminal 1 and the more expansive Terminal 2, which boasts 68 gates across four concourses labeled A-D. Terminal 1, though smaller, is no less significant, with 18 gates and a single concourse, E, serving travelers with efficiency and ease.
