How delays work at SRQ

A ground stop holds flights bound for SRQ 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

  • Check your airline's concourse before you go through security. Allegiant uses Concourse A, which has its own checkpoint.
  • Winter and spring are the busiest seasons for Gulf Coast leisure travel, so allow more time for parking and security in those months.
  • Rental car counters are in the baggage claim area on Level 1, so you do not need a shuttle to rent a car.
  • Luggage carts are rented from Smarte Carte in baggage claim and at the curb, with a rebate when you return the cart.
  • Massage chairs are on the second level, at the west side of baggage claim and on the concourse.
