AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Confirm your Space-A or charter flight status well in advance since schedules are irregular and subject to mission changes.
Arrive with all required military/DoD credentials and travel orders, as civilian ID alone will not grant access.
Expect manual processing and roll call procedures rather than automated gate systems typical of commercial airports.
Build in significant buffer time since flights can be delayed or cancelled with little notice due to operational priorities.
Bring your own snacks and entertainment, as terminal amenities are minimal compared to commercial hubs.

Moderate
High risk
Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
There is only one small passenger terminal building, so 'connecting' means walking from the terminal lounge/waiting area out to the aircraft on the tarmac. There are no trains, shuttles, or multi-terminal transfers, and security re-screening is handled at the single terminal checkpoint before flight-line access.
