AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Confirm with your unit or charter operator that Marshall AAF is even the correct arrival point, since most travelers actually need MHK or MCI.
There is no commercial ticketing or public connection process here, so any 'layover' will be arranged directly through military or charter logistics.
Bring your own food and water, as there are no public concessions for transiting passengers.
If you're active duty or a dependent, check installation access requirements in advance since ID and clearance procedures can add unexpected time.
Ground transportation off-base is limited, so arrange a ride or rental car pickup before you land.
