Most important tips

Know before you go

A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.

Banks

Allegiant leisure map

Airport Where We Fly lists Allegiant to Ft. Myers/Punta Gorda, Myrtle Beach, Orlando/Sanford, and Tampa/St. Pete.

Route churn is real — confirm live Allegiant calendar; some feeds dropped SFB.

Plant

Compact NFTA terminal

Small leisure plant — simpler than BUF.

No PP lounge door.

F&B

Thin leisure F&B

Do not expect BUF-scale retail.

No invented bottle prices — omitted.

Ground

Falls vs BUF choice

IAG wins on proximity to Niagara Falls NY; BUF wins on airline density.

Canadian crossings add passport time — plan accordingly.

Live conditions

Right now at IAG

Security waits and operational status from official feeds, where the airport publishes them.
