Bristol, Johnson City, and Kingsport cooperated with Sullivan County to build an airport on 323 acres in Sullivan County, between the three cities. In the mid-1930s Johnson City's airfield and Kingsport's airstrip were deemed not practical for expansion. The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2017–2021 categorized it as a primary commercial service airport (more than 10,000 enplanements per year). The airport is governed by the Tri-Cities Airport Authority (TCAA) whose members are appointed by the cities of Johnson City, Kingsport, Bristol (TN), Bristol (VA) and both Washington County (TN) and Sullivan County (TN).įederal Aviation Administration records say the airport had 202,730 passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2008, 217,783 in 2009 and 202,114 in 2010. It serves the Tri-Cities area ( Bristol, Kingsport, Johnson City) of Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia. Tri-Cities Airport ( IATA: TRI, ICAO: KTRI, FAA LID: TRI) (also known as Tri-Cities Airport, TN/VA), is in Blountville, Tennessee, United States.

I'm sure, depending on the scruples of the attendant one might get a good deal, but as i experienced it this is an unethical practice.Source: Federal Aviation Administration The Compact car rental price was just $1 more than the 'Our Choice' option. This deal quickly turns into getting an economy car at the intermediate grade price.

Then when you ask for an obviously more suitable vehicle they get into the upcharge/upgrade game. They then give you the least compatible vehicle for such a trip. They first ask you the purpose and mileage of your proposed trip.

But know that it does appear to be a ploy of getting more money out of you.

I walked away.Ĭons: I bear some responsibility as i chose the 'Our Choice' option. Investigate the rental car's coverage and price and compare. Be aware that the insurance that is first offered through Kayak partners is not usually through the rental agency itself. Pros: I liked that i could cancel both the rental and insurance with no penalty.
