## Insider tips

- _Insider_: Arrive 60–75 minutes before departure. Security and check-in are typically cleared in under 20 minutes even during peak hours.
- _Avoid_: Eating during busy flight boarding times. Lines at Tailwind can slow down, so eating in town first is safer on crowded mornings.
- _Time_: Treat GJT's layout strategically by waiting landside with your drop-off crew until nearer departure; you’re only a short walk from your gate.
- _Local_: Reserve rental cars early during peak seasons to avoid sellouts or high prices, especially on summer weekends.
- _Quiet_: For a peaceful wait, the airport's relaxed environment beats larger airports' hustle—enjoy the peaceful ambiance and friendly staff.
- _Money_: Both short-term and long-term parking are $14/day, just a short walk from the terminal—no need for pricey alternatives.
- _Time_: If connecting to Denver during winter, plan a longer layover due to potential weather delays over the Rockies.
- _Avoid_: Limited power outlets mean you should charge your devices beforehand, as there's no lounge or conducive space for extended electronic use.
