Checkpoints and tips
The Barbara Jordan Terminal has three TSA checkpoints listed by the airport: Checkpoint 1, Checkpoint 2 West and Checkpoint 3. Checkpoint 3 is closed through 2026, and a travel guide also lists a Checkpoint 2 East. Checkpoint 2 West is the lane for TSA PreCheck and CLEAR with PreCheck, and it stays open until the last flight.
- The first checkpoints typically open around 3 a.m., according to the airport's travel tips page.
- The airport suggests 2.5 hours for domestic screening and 3 hours for international check-in. Add time if you are checking bags or traveling with children.
- Peak lines form before 8 a.m. and during the late-afternoon departure rush. Check the airport map on the day, since checkpoint status can change.
