How delays work at JAX

A ground stop holds flights bound for JAX 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 terminal is open 24 hours a day, but the security checkpoint is not. Plan for a landside wait if you have an early or late flight.
  • Rideshare drivers pick up on the lower arrival curb outside baggage claim, but they drop off on the upper departure curb.
  • Hourly Garage pickups are not allowed for pre-arranged transportation. Use the Ground Transportation Area.
