TSA Security Checkpoint
What to Expect
- Passengers should proceed through the security checkpoint at least 45 minutes before flight departure time to ensure that you are at your gate area in time to board the aircraft.
- Only ticketed passengers are allowed beyond the security checkpoint. Arriving passengers can be met in the baggage claim area.
- We recommend arriving 90 minutes before flight departure for check-in. Peak times may take longer – these are generally early morning departures. The TSA security checkpoint opens at 4 a.m. each morning.
- A current government issued photo identification is required for each passenger upon check-in and prior to entering the security checkpoint.

TSA Cares Passenger Support
You may request the services of a TSA Passenger Support Specialist (PSS), who can provide assistance through security screening. A PSS is a TSA officer who has received specialized training, including how to effectively assist and communicate with individuals with disabilities or medical conditions; and passengers who need additional screening assistance. Requesting PSS service does not exempt you from security screening.
