💡 Local Tip
For after-hours arrivals, check NOTAMs and confirm gate access and self-service fuel procedures in advance; the field can be quiet, and local staffing may not be on-site 24/7.
🚖 Getting There
The airport has no public transit link, so plan to arrive by personal vehicle, taxi, or rideshare. Downtown Jacksonville is only a few miles away, but rideshare availability can be sparse, so pre-arrange a pickup or rental car. If you need a rental, contact a local agency in Jacksonville before arrival to confirm delivery to the airport.
