## Insider tips

- _Insider_: With seating on the left-hand side when flying in from Seattle or Juneau, you’ll catch the best views approaching Baranof Island if the weather cooperates.
- _Time_: Checked luggage journeys are swift; you can often be roadside with a taxi in under 15 minutes of arriving.
- _Avoid_: Consider bypassing peak hours for access to and from the airport—busy times include school runs and hospital shift changes.
- _Time_: When weather-induced delays occur, aim to adjust connections from Seattle or Anchorage, providing buffer time is crucial.
- _Local_: Eat in town before heading to the airport as snack bar selections can be sparse, particularly during early flights.
- _Money_: For self-catering travelers, booking a rental car ahead of time can safeguard against sparse taxi availability, saving both time and unnecessary frustration.
- _Quiet_: For charter or GA travelers, consider using the Aero Services lounge which offers peace, courtesy cars, and all-round privileges compared to the main terminal.
- _Money_: Should flight disruptions occur, contacting Sitka hotels directly could save you from sold-out situations faster than relying on automated apps.
