How delays work at SAV

A ground stop holds flights bound for SAV at their origin airports. A ground delay program spaces arrivals out so the airport is not overloaded. Departure and arrival delay messages describe the average wait the FAA expects. None of these tell you whether your own flight is late, so always check your airline as well.

Local tips

Use Lots A, C or D for the lowest daily rate, and allow for the walk to the terminal.
Clear security early, since flights board 30 to 45 minutes before departure.
Check the parking closures before you drive in, since two garages are closed for maintenance this fall.
Book a hotel with a free shuttle if you want to skip driving, and confirm pickup times with the hotel.
