## Insider tips

- _Time_: Remember to check in at least 45 minutes before your flight; less than that, and you might be waiting for the next day's service.
- _Local_: Take advantage of the airport's military past; budget a few extra minutes to explore the remnants of its WWII installations.
- _Insider_: Pilots should check out Heartland Aviation for courtesy cars and a quiet lounge during long waits.
- _Avoid_: There’s no food on-site. Get your provisions from Alliance town to avoid any stomach growls mid-flight.
- _Money_: The $5 shuttle to town is your best bet for reliable transport, but arrange it in advance.
- _Quiet_: The family restroom is an oasis of quiet in the terminal, perfect for those needing a moment to themselves.
- _Insider_: Weather causing disruptions? Be prepared for possible overnight stays, as options are limited.
