How to Get from Midland International Airport to Odessa

Midland International Air & Space Port is at 9506 La Force Blvd in Midland, between Midland and Odessa. Its location makes it the airport serving arrivals headed to either city; the terminal address is also the destination to enter when planning a drive.

The airport is about a 20-minute drive from Executive Inn Odessa. If you’re arranging a pickup, first decide whether you’re using a private vehicle or a commercial service: the airport assigns them different areas at the terminal.

From Odessa, follow I-20 or Business 20 to FM 1788, then head north and turn right onto South Loop 40 to reach the terminal.

1. Exit I-20 or Business 20 onto FM 1788.
2. Head north on FM 1788 and turn right onto South Loop 40.
3. Continue as South Loop 40 becomes Sloan Field Blvd, then La Force Blvd, which leads to the terminal.

These are the airport’s directions for drivers traveling from Odessa. If you’re navigating from another starting point, use the terminal address rather than assuming the same approach.

Rental cars, rideshares, taxis, hotel shuttles, limousines and bus services have designated pickup arrangements at the airport.

Rental cars

Avis, Budget, Enterprise, Hertz and National have rental-car counters inside the terminal on the first level, directly across from Baggage Claim. From there, follow the airport’s exit directions toward Odessa.

Rideshares and taxis

Uber, Lyft and taxi pickups use the designated TNC/Taxi zone in the Ground Transportation Area. The commercial pickup zones are at the north end of the terminal near Baggage Claim, so head there rather than waiting at the front curb.

Shuttles, buses and limousines

Hotel shuttles, limousines and bus services use the designated Shuttle/Bus/Limo zone in the Ground Transportation Area. Confirm your pickup arrangement with the provider, then follow terminal directions to that zone.

The terminal front curb is for non-commercial private-vehicle pickup and drop-off. Vehicles must remain attended there, while commercial services should use their assigned zones.

Choose your pickup method before leaving the terminal: rental-car agencies are across from Baggage Claim, while commercial rides and shuttles use zones at the north end. If someone is collecting you in a private vehicle, arrange to meet at the front curb.

If you’re driving yourself, the airport has seven parking areas: C1, P1, P3, C2, P2, P4 and P5. Their locations vary: C1 is covered and closest to the terminal; P1 and P3 are close-in uncovered lots; C2 is remote covered parking; P2 and P4 are economy lots; and P5 is remote economy parking.

After arriving, you can plan time in Odessa city centre. Parking fees and airport access details can change, so check the official site before you go. For route directions and parking information, use the Midland International Air & Space Port website.
