How delays work at ALB

A ground stop holds flights bound for ALB 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

  • The economy E-Lot at $7 a day with a free shuttle is the lowest-cost parking option at Albany.
  • Albany has no commercial airline lounges. Plan your wait around the atrium, seating and the concourses.
  • The cell phone lot is two minutes from the terminal on Albany Shaker Road, so you can wait there for arriving passengers.
