What travelers should know
Because the airport serves a regional destination rather than a major hub, it is best approached as a convenient arrival point for the Brainerd Lakes area rather than a place to spend long pre-flight hours. Checking flight times, ground transportation, and pickup plans in advance is especially useful, particularly during busy summer weekends and holiday periods when the surrounding resort area draws more visitors. The local time zone is America/Chicago, so travelers connecting from other parts of the country should keep that in mind when planning arrivals, departures, and hotel check-in times.
