Checkpoints and tips

The single centralized checkpoint is normally open from 3:30 a.m. to 9:20 p.m. daily. Airlines coordinate with TSA for departures outside those hours.

  • Allow at least 30 minutes for screening and arrive two hours before a domestic departure.
  • TSA PreCheck has a dedicated lane. Touchless ID lanes are available for enrolled travelers with participating airlines.
  • CLEAR eGates operate at the checkpoint during set hours, so check the airport security page for the current schedule.
