Knoxville Airport Parking (TYS)

Besides the breathtaking surroundings of the Great Smoky Mountains, one of the outstanding features of McGhee Tyson is the trademark Southern hospitality that's always delivered with a smile, an amenity that comes at no cost and is too often absent at similarly-sized and larger, busier airports. Friendly, welcoming and helpful customer service that goes far beyond the norm is extended effortlessly, and until you've been unfortunate to experience the alternative, it's easy to go unnoticed. This small but pleasant amenity is just part of the unique charm of TYS that is impossible to put a price on.

Facts, Figures and Services About TYS

The two 9,000 foot-long runways are easily capable of accommodating any sized aircraft from such carriers as American Airlines, American Eagle, Delta, United and US Airways, to name a few. TYS is Wi-Fi-accessible and also offers ATM's throughout the terminals.

Restaurant and Shopping Options

McGhee Tyson's food court contains dining options that include popular establishments such as Quiznos, Ruby Tuesday's, Cinnabon, Express by Uno, Starbucks Coffee, Zia's and local favorite Cooper's Restaurant. Shopping choices for TYS aren't as extensive or filled with the lavish, upscale names found at much larger facilities, but what travelers will find is a well-stocked gift shop that specializes in discount items featuring many arts and crafts that are representative of the surrounding Smoky Mountain region. There's also a newsstand that provides the latest in local, national and international newspapers, periodicals and assorted reading material.

A popular amenity of TYS is their many rows of comfortable, plush leather-padded rocking chairs that provide an extremely relaxing respite from their often rushed activities. As an added bonus, you can even receive a professional shoe shine while waiting, just another 'down home' amenity that's synonymous with the unique experience that's a part of McGhee Tyson Airport.
