This is just a friendly reminder that the busy holiday season kicks off Thanksgiving week - with seven flights leaving PGD between 6 and 8 a.m. It takes some time for all our passengers to check-in and get through security, so we really appreciate those early birds that help things flow more smoothly! Allegiant and the Transportation Security Administration recommend you arrive at least 2 hours early -- and so does PGD -- especially when it comes to the early morning flights.
