## Insider tips

- _Insider_: Watch for unique plane spotting. See Coast Guard C-130s alongside your regional flight at the terminal or from nearby pullouts on Airport Way.
- _Time_: Build in extra travel time during summer due to extensive flight and Coast Guard operations. Weather-related diversions are common, especially during shoulder seasons.
- _Avoid_: Don’t expect more than basic amenities. Eat in town or pack food instead, as the airport lacks typical dining options.
- _Local_: Take advantage of close proximity to town. If delays occur, head back for meals or supplies, keeping an eye on flight updates.
- _Quiet_: For a quieter wait, visit facility lounges of air-taxi operators like Island Air Service instead of the main terminal.
- _Money_: Rental cars can sell out, especially during high season. Reserve early and confirm availability in advance.
- _Insider_: When connecting to a village or adventure destination, you can often walk to air-taxi services along Airport Way for easier same-day connections.
- _Tips_: Maintain flexibility with plans. Charter services may shift flights between wheeled aircraft and floatplanes, depending on weather conditions.
