About

Arriving at Blue Grass Airport

Blue Grass Airport serves Lexington, the heart of Kentucky's horse country and home to the University of Kentucky. Allegiant, American, Delta, and United provide service to major hubs, with traffic peaking around big UK sporting events and the Keeneland racing meets.

LEX is one of the most user-friendly small airports in the country. The single terminal is compact enough that passengers can walk from gate to curbside in just a few minutes. The airport sits amid the rolling horse farms of the Bluegrass region, and most Lexington destinations are within a 15-minute drive.
