Planning Your Trip
Because Aberdeen Regional Airport operates on America/Chicago time, travelers connecting from other parts of the country should double-check departure and arrival times, especially during seasonal clock changes and multi-leg itineraries. As with many regional airports, arriving a little earlier than you might for a very small local airfield is wise, while still expecting a generally more manageable pace than at a large metropolitan airport. If you are picking up a car or arranging a ride, it also helps to plan ahead, since regional airport services can be more limited than at major hubs.
