I ordered the Orville and Wilbur’s sushi roll, as well as the classic martini. Enjoyed the roll and realized I don’t like martinis, but I think that last part was due to me and not the restaurant.
Service was relatively quick; it took about an hour to get from sitting down, taking order, receiving food, and now more than halfway done, and the seated area was almost full when I sat.
The view from the seating area is wonderful. The concourse windows are huge and overlook the American Airlines plane taxi area, and there’s a lot of foot traffic for people watching right next to the seating area.

This bar, conveniently located in the middle of the airport, offered a remarkably tranquil atmosphere. They served delicious sushi and featured calming live music.

Just a great vibe with great service. Was flying out during football playoffs and was able to watch the games. Drinks were well made, granted a little pricey but its an airport everything is going to be expensive. The Orville and Wilbur roll is probably some of the best sushi ive had in some time again a little pricey for a single roll but totally worth it. The bar tender was friendly and prompt. No doubt where im going if I find myself in the CLT airport again

First In Flight – A Hidden Gem at CLT!
First In Flight has always been one of my go-to spots whenever I fly through Charlotte, and it never disappoints! The miso soup is consistently hot, flavorful, and comforting – a perfect way to start a meal. On this visit, I had the Sunset Roll, which was fresh, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious.
The service was just as impressive as the food. A big thank you to Ed for taking such great care of me – attentive, friendly, and made the experience even better.
If you’re traveling through CLT and have some time, I highly recommend stopping by First In Flight. Great food, excellent service, and a relaxing atmosphere – you won’t regret it!

We ordered 4 standard cocktails and the bill came in at $105. My girlfriend and I were both shocked at how high that was. We looked at the menu to confirm the pricing, and they don’t list drink prices. Pretty deceptive if you ask me. Interesting way to increase margins, trick your customers.
I would get a drink somewhere else.

I picked up a sushi roll to go from this place and paid at the register. I get an email today from my credit card company saying they added a 33% tip to my charge. I absolutely did not do this. So check your receipts if you’re ordering here!!

As others have said here, the sushi is fantastic. I had the Orville and Wilbur, and it was AMAZING! It was very well prepared on the plate, and it was delicious! Wonderful job. However, the drinks were WAY overpriced. The margaritas were tasty, but they were $22 EACH! … in a medium-sized plastic cup half-full of ice! Yikes! I really should’ve paid more attention to the drink prices. So, they get the highest mark on the food, but they get a low score on drinks due to pricing. I’ll definitely eat here again, but ONLY eat! No drinks at these 30,000 foot prices!!!

So I’m a Sushi Chef and VERY critical of pre made Sushi. So I picked up a rainbow roll on our way to Detroit. The. best Premade Sushi I ever had. I thought it a fluke so on my return I purchased another. Equally as impressive. The checkout is a breeze. A tray pricey but when you think of where you are and the quality it’s a no brainer.

After American Airlines had a glitch causing us to be stuck at the airport for 9 hours they gave us vouchers to go sit down and eat and recommended this sushi place. We waited in line for over 10 mins to have a lady tell us we had to place our order at the kiosk. So we ordered some sushi rolls and3 miso soups. We got our rolls quickly and sat down and unpacked them then shortly after our soups were delivered in a bag and styrofoam bowls. So we took them out and started eating. The “manger” came almost running over and told us to “get out”. I thought we did something wrong and said uhh is there a problem.? She said this is for paying customers only you need to leave. I said uhh I’m confused are we not paying customers this is food from this restaurant is it not? She said yes but you ordered to go this is for people dining with us. I said ok you need to change the attitude you’re the one that made us order at the kiosk never saying that meant it was to go we wanted to sit and eat we are here for 9 hours. She said not her problem pack it up and get out. I asked can I order something else from you and be considered a dine in customer we literally just opened everything and have all our other stuff with us carry ons and such. She said if you’re actually going to buy something I said I will I need a menu. She hands me the menu and as I take it from her she says “so what do you want?!” I said uhh I haven’t even looked at the menu yet you just handed it to me can I have a minute and she said “no I know you’re not going to order anything” I said so i literally just told you I would I haven’t looked at the menu you just handed it to me what do you recommend other than what we have? She said she will be back in 1 minute and I need to know what I want or get out. She walked away and I waved over another worker that was now standing by the kiosk and said are we not allowed to eat here we didn’t get an option to order with a server or anything we were told to use the kiosk and that employee apologized and said “don’t worry about it you’re fine”. I saw her talk to the manager and the manager came back and I thought she was going to apologize but she walked up and said you need to order now or get out. I said “ok she just said we were fine to sit here but anyway I think I’m ready how is the tuna po…” and she didn’t even let me finish, she interrupted me and told us to get out that she heard me say under my breath that I was going to just stall so we could eat our food. I swear to you on everything that never came out of my mouth and when would I have said it? I waved that other employee over as soon as she left and talked to her for about 15 seconds then I was looking at the menu while that other employee went and talked to the manager then the manager came back all in about 1 minute time. This lady was an absolute nut job. I looked at her and asked is that how you treat paying customers by lying and being on a power trip maybe you should have greeted us and explained how the restaurant works instead of making us wait over 10 mins and just yelling across the bar that we had to use the kiosk to order. She said she was going to get the food court manager and we will be escorted out of the restaurant. That lady comes over tells us sorry you have to leave if you’re not going to order. I said I tried to order and already have ordered but I guess this is considered take out even though we were told we had to order using the kiosk. She goes yes they have signs posted you have to dine in to sit her and pointed to a small sign next to a pillar that you can’t see from the kiosk because the kiosk is literally right in front of it. I told the lady she needs to go back and talk to that manager because I attempted to order so we could stay seated but she’s power tripping and made up in her head she heard me say I would stall until we were done eating, but that lady just kept asking us to leave and apologizing for the rule. A mom alone with 4 small children was also kicked out after unpacking the food she just bought and sitting the kids down.

I was blown away by the sushi at First in Flight Bar! Despite being located at an airport, it surpasses even some of the fanciest sushi restaurants I’ve been to. The fish was incredibly fresh, and my roll was well prepared and presented. Best of all the taste was on point! If you’re passing through the Charlotte Airport, this spot is definitely worth a stop!
