Checkpoints and tips
Dulles has three TSA checkpoints, all on the Departures–Ticketing level: East, West, and TSA PreCheck between them.
- The East checkpoint is open from 4 a.m. to 9 p.m., and the West checkpoint is open from 4:45 a.m. to 9 p.m. TSA PreCheck lanes run 24 hours a day.
- CLEAR kiosks are located on both sides of the TSA PreCheck line, so you can enroll or check in there.
- Lines can be shorter in the late evening, but the airport says screening is available 24 hours a day, so check the TSA PreCheck lanes after hours.
