If you’ve got a layover in Page, don’t let it go to waste sitting at PGA. The city, in United States, is within easy reach — roughly 30 minutes by local transport. Whether you have four hours or twelve, here’s how to make your stopover count.
Quick Checks Before Leaving the Airport
A few things to sort out before you leave PGA:
- Entry requirements: Make sure you have the right visa or entry clearance for United States. Transit visas and tourist visas are different things — double-check before you exit.
- Travel time: The trip to Page takes about 30 minutes by local transport. Factor in the return trip and at least 90 minutes of buffer for security and boarding.
- Currency: The local currency is USD. You’re in USD territory, so no currency conversion needed.
Getting from PGA to Page
The most straightforward way into Page is the local transport, which takes about 30 minutes. This is generally the best option for layover travelers — it’s reliable and you won’t get stuck in traffic.
A taxi or ride-share will also get you there, typically in 50 minutes depending on conditions, but expect to pay significantly more. If time is tight, the local transport is usually the smarter call.
Top Picks for a Quick Visit
If you head into Page, here are two things worth checking out:
Horseshoe Bend Overlook is a solid choice if you want to get a feel for the area. The views are worth the trip if you have time.
Glen Canyon Dam Visitor Center is another option that’s easy to fit into a short visit. Worth checking out if your schedule allows.
If you’d rather stay inside PGA — maybe your layover is shorter than expected, or you just prefer to stay close to your gate — there are still ways to pass the time:
- PGA Terminal Relaxation Area
- Airport Souvenir Kiosk
Food Worth Trying
- In the city: Big John’s Texas BBQ and El Tapatio Mexican Restaurant are both worth a visit if you’re exploring Page.
- At the airport: PGA Grab & Go Corner and Terminal Coffee Spot will get the job done without leaving the terminal.
Layover Budget Breakdown
You don’t need a fortune for a layover outing. Here’s a realistic estimate for Page:
Transport to the city and back runs about $10 USD. A sit-down meal averages around $20 USD. Add $10 for a coffee, snacks, or a small souvenir, and you’re looking at roughly $40 USD total.
Withdraw local currency from an ATM at the airport rather than using exchange counters — the rates are usually better.
Bag Storage Near PGA
Specific locker facilities at PGA aren’t well-documented. We recommend checking Bounce before your trip to find a secure storage spot either near the airport or in Page itself.
If you’re traveling carry-on only, you might be able to skip storage entirely and bring your bag along.
Staying Connected
Free WiFi is generally available at PGA, which is handy for checking maps and transport schedules. For connectivity in Page itself, an eSIM is the easiest route — services like Airalo offer data plans for United States that you can activate straight from your phone, no physical SIM swap needed.
Where to Rest During Your Layover
Long overnight layover? Your options at PGA include terminal seating (look for areas away from the main walkways) and, if available, airport lounges with day passes. Some airports in United States also have transit hotels or sleeping pods — worth checking availability before your trip.
Final Thoughts
A layover in Page is a chance to see a slice of somewhere new — even if it’s just for a few hours. Plan your time, keep an eye on the clock, and don’t forget to enjoy the detour. Some of the best travel memories come from the unplanned ones.
Safe travels, and enjoy Page.
