🏢 Terminal Guide & Navigation

California Redwood Coast–Humboldt County Airport (ACV), also known as Arcata–Eureka Airport, is a compact regional airport serving Humboldt County, California. It operates with a single, modern terminal that efficiently handles all arrivals and departures, simplifying transfers and navigation. The terminal is generally open from 4 AM to 12 AM daily, accommodating a steady flow of domestic flights. The terminal's layout is intuitive, featuring check-in counters, baggage claim, and security all located within close proximity. It is divided into two concourses: Concourse A, equipped with five gates, primarily serves United Airlines, while Concourse B, with three gates, serves American Airlines and Silver Airways. Amenities available for travelers include a café offering sandwiches, pastries, and drinks, a small gift shop for souvenirs and essentials, and free Wi-Fi throughout the terminal. Power outlets and charging stations are conveniently located in the waiting areas near the boarding gates. As a federally designated port of entry for civil aircraft entering the United States, ACV is equipped to handle international general aviation, though commercial international services are limited. The airport is fully accessible for passengers with disabilities, with wheelchair assistance available upon request. It operates without a control tower, relying on pilot communication for traffic management, which is common for smaller regional airports.

💡 Connection Tips

California Redwood Coast–Humboldt County Airport (ACV) primarily serves domestic flights within the United States, connecting the Redwood Coast region to major hubs. Currently, United Airlines and Avelo provide service, with future plans including Breeze Airways flights to Las Vegas starting March 2026, and Alaska Airlines offering daily service to Seattle-Tacoma beginning April 2026. These connections are crucial for onward travel to broader domestic and international networks.

For connections through ACV, the single-terminal design simplifies transfers. However, for flights connecting through other airports, particularly international ones, it is advisable to allow a minimum of two and a half hours between flights. This ample time is necessary to account for potential delays, customs procedures (if applicable at the first point of entry into the US), baggage collection, and travel within larger airport complexes. International travelers will clear customs and passport control at their first point of entry into the USA, not at ACV.

Ground transportation from ACV to Arcata, Eureka, and other local communities is well-supported. The Redwood Transit System (RTS) bus provides connections. Rental cars are available on-site, but it is recommended to reserve them in advance, especially during peak season. Additionally, shuttle services like Door to Door Airporter and Hum Van Airport Transport, as well as City Cab, offer convenient transportation options. Major airports such as San Francisco (SFO), Oakland (OAK), Sacramento (SMF), and San Jose (SJC) are approximately 5.5 to 6 hours away by car, highlighting ACV's regional importance.
