Allow Extra Time

• Arrive early. Heightened airport security measures increase the time needed to check in. Arriving at the airport two hours before your flight’s scheduled departure is advisable. Build in even more time at the airport if traveling with young children, infants, or persons with disabilities.
• Consider taking public transportation to the airport, if possible. Parking and curbside access will be controlled and limited.
• Curbside check-in is available only at specific locations. Contact your airline to see if it is available for your flight.
• Do not leave your car unattended in front of the terminal. Security measures dictate that unattended cars will be towed.
