💡 Local Tip
Because the terminal is small and parking is close, frequent visitors often arrive just over an hour before departure—but check TSA screening hours, as they may not cover the entire day's flight schedule.
🚖 Getting There
The airport is a short drive from downtown via US-12 or Isaacs Avenue, so a rental car or pre-arranged ride is easiest. Rental car counters are at the terminal, but rideshare availability can be sparse—schedule a pickup or taxi ahead. Some local hotels offer shuttle service, so ask when booking.
