## Insider tips

- _Insider_: Bring all food and water you'll need for your stay at Airok. There are no documented on-site dining options or vending machines.
- _Time_: Flights here, like many in the Marshalls, operate on an approximate schedule. Expect delays or cancellations, and leave at least a 24-hour buffer for onward flights from Majuro.
- _Avoid_: Forget credit cards or relying on ATMs—carry small USD bills for any local transactions or assistance.
- _Quiet_: Night offers a stellar display of the Milky Way due to the lack of artificial light around the airstrip—ideal for night sky enthusiasts.
- _Local_: Coordinate with local hosts for updates on flight schedules as changes often spread by word of mouth rather than online channels.
- _Money_: ATMs are non-existent here. Small cash reserves will help in securing local services like boats or informal taxi rides.
- _Insider_: Travel light with soft bags to comply with ad-hoc cargo limits on these flights; they're easier to fit into small island aircraft holds.
- _Local_: A short walk from the airstrip provides unique sightings of traditional Marshallese outrigger canoes along the lagoon side.
