AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Check in advance whether your itinerary is truly a same-plane connection, since most AVP passengers actually connect at a downstream hub like Philadelphia, Charlotte, or Detroit.
With only a handful of daily departures, missing a flight here can mean waiting until the next day for the next one, so build in extra buffer.
The terminal is small enough that you can walk from any gate to any other gate in under five minutes.
TSA lines are rarely long, so precheck travelers can often clear security in under five minutes even at peak times.
There are limited food and shopping options past security, so grab anything you need before or right after screening.
