How delays work at FAT

A ground stop holds flights bound for FAT 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 airport has a pre-security ATM, located behind the Starbucks kiosk in the terminal lobby.
  • A private restroom for caregivers is located pre-security, and accessible stalls are available post-security.
  • Service animals and traveling pets are welcome. A pet relief area is located post-security.
  • Parking fills quickly during peak periods, so keep a backup lot in mind. Keep valuables out of sight in your vehicle.
