Eppley Airfield is situated three miles northeast of downtown Omaha, Nebraska, on the west bank of the Missouri River. Surprisingly, traveling to the airport from most directions requires driving through Carter Lake, Iowa, owing to a historical shift in the river's course. As Nebraska's busiest airport, it serves as a medium hub operated by the Omaha Airport Authority across a 2,650-acre facility.
Airline operations at Eppley Airfield are split across two passenger terminals. The South Terminal houses Concourse A and serves airlines such as American, Delta, Alaska, Allegiant, and Frontier. The North Terminal includes Concourse B and serves Southwest and United. Travelers should note that moving between concourses currently requires passing through security screening again until terminal unification work is completed.

Lost, delayed or damaged baggage at OMA
If your checked bag doesn't turn up on the belt, act before you leave the baggage-claim area — that's where every airline keeps its Baggage Service Office.
- Go to your airline's Baggage Service Office in the baggage-claim hall of your arrival terminal.
- File a Property Irregularity Report (PIR) and get your file reference (WorldTracer) number. Keep your bag-tag receipt and boarding pass.
- Track it online using that reference on your airline's baggage-tracking page — most bags are located within 24–48 hours.
- Claim your essentials. On delayed bags airlines reimburse reasonable interim purchases (toiletries, clothing) — keep receipts. International trips are covered by the Montreal Convention.
- If it's truly lost (generally after 21 days) or damaged, file the claim at the same office — damage must be reported before you leave the airport.
Left something in the terminal (not a checked bag)? That's handled by the airport Lost & Found. Items left at a TSA security checkpoint are held by the TSA, not the airline.
