Helpful Tips For When Arriving At The Airport

Due to increased security measures, we recommend that domestic passengers arrive at the airport at least two hours prior to their flight. International passengers are encouraged to allow additional time and to check with the air carrier.

To expedite the screening process, please pack all liquids and gels - including shampoo, toothpaste, perfume, hair gel, suntan lotion and all other items with similar consistency in your checked baggage. Carrying liquids of any sort to the screening checkpoint will cause you delays, and will most likely result in the item being confiscated.

Every passenger can assist in ensuring that flights are safe and hassles minimized:

Pack lightly, without clutter, to facilitate easy screening
Ensure that all liquids are packed in your checked baggage
Do not bring liquids or lighters to the security checkpoint
Review the Prohibited Items List prior to traveling to expedite passing through the screening checkpoint
Cooperate with TSA personnel at checkpoints and with airline personnel at gates
Be attentive and vigilant to any suspicious activity and report it to authorities
Passengers traveling to the United Kingdom will be subject to more extensive security screening processes, including a physical inspection of baggage at the departure gate.

As a customer service initiative, we are providing security checkpoint wait time information to assist travelers in planning for their next flight. The wait times are historical so please note actual wait time may vary depending on factors including weather delays, which result in increased passenger levels.

When calculating arrival time, remember to build in time for non-security related issues, including parking, and ticketing/checking in with your airline. Please consult your airline and airport for additional guidance on arrival time. Find your security checkpoint wait time.
