how early to get there for security
SGU has one small TSA checkpoint, so lines are usually short. Plan to arrive about 90 minutes before your flight, or 2 hours if you are checking bags at a busy time like holidays or spring break. The airline closes bag check and boarding well before takeoff, so don't cut it close.

uber, lyft and getting to town
Uber and Lyft both pick up and drop off at SGU, and both let you schedule a ride to the airport up to 90 days ahead with a locked-in price. The airport is about 6–7 miles (roughly 15 minutes) south of downtown St. George. Expect very roughly $15–$25 each way with a regular car; it can cost more early in the morning, late at night or when few drivers are out, since this is a small town. There are no taxis in the Uber app here. If you land late, open the app before you get off the plane to see if a driver is nearby, or schedule one ahead.

picking someone up
Flights are short and the terminal is small, so pickups are quick. Passengers usually walk out within 10 minutes of landing with carry-ons, and checked bags usually come out about 15 minutes after the plane lands. Check the live arrivals board for delays before you leave the house.
what to expect on your first flight
- Small jets. SkyWest flies regional jets with about 50 to 76 seats, two seats per side or one-and-two. No first-class lounges, no aisle carts the size of a big jet's.
- Small overhead bins. Full-size roller bags often won't fit. Expect to leave yours at the plane door with a tag ("gate check" or "valet"); it is free and comes back to you at the door or at baggage claim.
- Walking or short ramps. You may board by stairs or a ramp instead of a jet bridge. Dress for the weather.
- A bumpy feel. Small planes feel turbulence more. It is normal.
- Connections. Most trips connect at the hub. Leave at least an hour for your connection, more in winter at Denver or Salt Lake.
- Checked bags are usually tagged to your final city, so you won't pick them up at the hub.
