The Not-So-Mysterious Main Attraction: Will Rogers World Airport
Fear not, weary traveler! Oklahoma City's main airport, the one handling most commercial flights, goes by the glorious name of Will Rogers World Airport. Yes, that Will Rogers, the famous humorist who once said, "Flying is the safest way to travel - if you happen to fall out, you're only going down once." Reassuring, right?
This airport (lovingly nicknamed WRWA by the locals, because, you know, why not?) boasts a shiny new terminal, fancy art installations, and even an outdoor garden featuring a bronze statue of the airport's namesake. So while you wait for your flight, you can contemplate the profound musings of Will Rogers or just marvel at the fact that you didn't have to wrestle an alligator to get on your plane (pretty sure that wasn't standard procedure in Rogers' day).
Tip: Reread complex ideas to fully understand them.
Just to be super clear: If you're flying into Oklahoma City for, say, a riveting conference on the history of the peanut (hey, it happens!), Will Rogers World Airport (WRWA) is your most likely destination.
Hold Your Horses! Are There Other Airports?
Now, before you high-five the nearest stranger and celebrate your newfound Oklahoma City airport knowledge, there's a teensy little wrinkle. Oklahoma City, like a magician pulling a rabbit from a hat, has two other airports: Wiley Post Airport and Clarence E. Page Airport. But fret not, these are primarily used for general aviation and private planes. Unless you're piloting your own Cessna, you won't be landing there.
