💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know to ask the FBO for the tail number and ETA when meeting a private flight, since LNS has no commercial arrivals board. Also, the main parking lot is steps from the terminal, so there is no need to circle the small loop.
🚖 Getting There
By car, use PA Route 501 or US 30 to Airport Road; the airport is about 10–15 minutes north of downtown Lancaster. Rental cars, taxis, and rideshare services such as Uber and Lyft are available, but public transit is limited—check Red Rose Transit Route 12 if it is operating.
