How delays work at PGD

A ground stop holds flights bound for PGD 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

  • Long-Term parking at $12 per day is the best value for trips over one day, and Parking Rewards can refund up to $396 per year.
  • Arrive two hours early for early-morning Allegiant flights.
  • Use the ride app pickup between the terminal and the Rental Car Center, not the curb.
  • Plan to check in at the counter, since PGD has no self-service kiosks.
