Security

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) recommends arriving to the airport two hours in advance of your flight departure time for domestic travel and three hours for international flights. Allow ample time for parking, checking your luggage, obtaining a boarding pass and longer-than-average wait times during peak travel periods.

Checkpoint Opening Times

All Concourse A/B gates are accessible from either checkpoint, simply use the Concourse Connector after going through either security checkpoint and proceed to your designated gate.

Checkpoint A: 3:30 a.m.
Checkpoint B: 3:45 a.m.

TSA Pre✓™ passengers should proceed to Checkpoint A.

As part of TSA screening assistance, TSA Cares is a helpline that provides travelers with disabilities, medical conditions and other special circumstances additional assistance during the security screening process.

Real ID Overview

Beginning May 7, 2025, a Real ID-compliant driver’s license, permit, or identification card will be required to board commercial airplanes or enter certain federal facilities unless you present a Department of Homeland Security-approved document. A Real ID meets federal government requirements for driver’s licenses, identification cards, and learner’s permits.

Do you already have a Real ID? If you have a star in the upper right-hand corner of your driver’s license, permit, or identification card, you have a Real-ID compliant license.

To upgrade to Real ID, all customers must visit a BMV branch and bring the required documents. Only original versions or certified copies of the required documents will be accepted.
