Arriving through NGU puts you in Norfolk-Hampton Roads, where an active naval airfield inside the world’s largest naval complex, maritime history, forts, shipyards, and strict security. Skip the beige layover mentality: pay attention, behave like a guest, and leave room for the destination to dismantle whatever tidy plan survived baggage claim.
