JAXPax and I did the scenic tour of the ART airport today.
Here are important things to know:

Arriving:
1) The seats on the propeller jet are fairly comfortable, as long as you are in row 4 or forward.
2) The temperature controls seemed a little erratic. Went from hot & stuffy to a little chilly.

Airport:
1) the airport is really in the middle of nowhere. And there is nothing to do.
2) The airport has a couple of vending machines.

Outside the airport:
1) The nearest convenience store is just 2 miles down the road.
2) The staff at the airport have a folder of restaurants, of which only a couple deliver. We tried the Chinese restaurant. Delivery was fairly quick. They told us 40 minutes to deliver, and I think it came in 20.
3)There is a bird poop splattered picnic table right in front of the terminal. You might want to bring a plastic tablecloth with you. And booze.
4) There used to be a Thrifty rental counter at the airport until about a month ago. Supposedly some other company will be taking that over, but noone knows yet which company.
5) The only hotel which will pick you up is the Days Inn. And they have a Denny's next door, and advertise "a separate lounge".
6) The airport staff say there are taxi services, but they probably will gouge you. No prices were mentioned.

Leaving
1) The TSA staff were very, very thorough. Maybe cause they don't have so many people to practice upon. Or maybe because of the proximity to the border. Either way, I was wanded and patted down more intensely than at any other airport.

JAXPax I'm sure will want to post his pics.
