Tips for 1 hr Connections
Confirm your eligibility and required military ID/orders well before travel, as SUU is not open to the general public.
Arrive early since Patriot Express flights operate on a rigid AMC schedule with limited flight frequency, not the rebooking flexibility of commercial hubs.
There are no commercial connecting flights at SUU, so any 'connection' typically means waiting for the next scheduled charter, which could be days later.
Check with the passenger terminal directly for space-available (Space-A) travel rules if you're not on official orders.
Bring your own food and entertainment, as amenities in the terminal are minimal compared to commercial airports.
