How delays work at SFB

A ground stop holds flights bound for SFB 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

  • International arrivals use baggage claim areas 6 to 8 beyond Customs, at the east end of the terminal. Domestic arrivals use claims 1 to 3.
  • Rental cars are not in the terminal. Walk across Red Cleveland Boulevard to the Welcome Center or the Alamo building.
  • Uber, Lyft and taxi pick-ups are across the street, not at the curb in front of baggage claim.
  • A restored B-1 Bomber is on display at the west end of the terminal on Level 1.
