Suggested time on the ground includes a planning allowance for transfers. Driving times, bookings and availability are not live. Use current aviation sources for your flight.
01
Land & collect your ride
Meet the vehicle reserved through or independently of Alliance; agree the return time and parking arrangements.
02
Start with village history
Allow roughly two to three hours at Landis Valley, choosing the open buildings that fit your interests.
03
Choose town or terminal lunch
Use Lancaster Dispensing Company downtown, or the established Fiorentino’s airport restaurant when returning; confirm kitchen service.
04
Market if the clock allows
On Friday or Saturday only, add a short Central Market browse before 3 pm, then keep the prearranged ride back to KLNS.
MAKE THE MOST OF THE STOP
Two things worth seeing
STOP 1
Landis Valley Village & Farm Museum
Explore Pennsylvania German rural life in a preserved village-and-farm setting. Gravel and uneven paths and some historic interiors may limit accessibility; ask ahead.
Allow: 2–3 hours; editorial suggestion.
Hours: Wednesday–Saturday 9 am–4 pm; Sunday noon–4 pm; Monday and Tuesday closed. Confirm holidays and programs.
Choose a restaurant that fits your route and opening times. Town stops need ground transport; airport dining can fit before or after your outing. Each choice has its own reviews and restaurant check-in.

Settle these details before departure
Getting around: Alliance advertises on-site rentals, concierge assistance and crew cars. Reserve a suitable full-outing rental or a driver with both outbound and return pickups. Confirm permission and duration; never assume a crew car can be kept for this whole trip.
Return plan: Book the vehicle for the entire outing or confirm both outbound and return rides before flying. Set a firm airport-return deadline that leaves room for road delays, any vehicle return, fuel, weather review and a complete preflight. Skip the optional attraction if the margin shrinks.
Season: Outdoor paths and historic buildings depend on weather and site availability; Monday/Tuesday museum closure and market days matter.
Costs, accessibility & remaining confirmations
Reserve and verify the complete outbound and return ground-transport plan before departure.
Confirm actual road travel time, transient fees and return access.
Alliance currently says 24-hour 100LL self-service is suspended; arrange fuel with the FBO and confirm current status.
