#1. There are no bathrooms post security. However there is a seating area right before security and there are no long lines. One should check to see if there are any delays before going thru security. Also going to the bathroom is a good idea too.

#2. No food post security, so again one should make sure there are no delays prior to going thru security and should eat prior to arrival at the airport. There is a snack and soda machine prior to security in the waiting area.

#3. Seating is limited but they only have a few (3 at the most) flights a day so this is okay for now but they are aware of the problem and will be addressing it

Parking is fine. I felt safe leaving my car there as they have a county sheriff substation on premesis. Also it is not in Trenton but a nearby suburb the area is quite rural and is perfectly safe. They are currently building another parking lot for when Frontier expands its service so parking should not be a problem, I believe I read that after the additional parking lot is finished before the new service comes in, they will have 1200 spaces which should be plenty.

I am currently planning a trip to Chicago from Trenton in late May.
