Blue Grass Airport (LEX) in Lexington, Kentucky, features a single passenger terminal with two distinct concourses: Concourse A and Concourse B. Despite being a regional airport, it serves over 1.5 million travelers annually with nonstop flights to more than a dozen U.S. cities. The terminal is compact and traveler-friendly, with all gates located on the upper level and connected via a central security checkpoint.
