Tulsa, Oklahoma KTUL #84 US airport by passengers
Tulsa International Airport is about six miles northeast of downtown Tulsa, Oklahoma. Hotels on airport property list the airport about six miles from the city center, and MetroLink Route 201 connects it to downtown in roughly 30 to 35 minutes.
TUL is a compact airport with one main terminal and two concourses: Concourse A has 11 gates (A1 to A11), and Concourse B has 10 gates and opened in 2012. Free Wi-Fi covers the terminal and both concourses.
Parking is among the lowest-cost options in the region. Short-term parking is $1 for the first 30 minutes and $2 per hour, capped at $16 per day. Economy is $9 per day with a shuttle, and a free cell phone lot is available for pickups.
The terminal is open 24 hours a day, but the TSA checkpoint closes overnight and reopens at 3:45 a.m., so overnight travelers must stay landside. The Escape Lounge is post-security in Concourse B.
