bentoTips:
  - label: Timing
    title: Budget the official two hours — TSA does not print a clock
    detail: >-
      Summer and Thanksgiving/Christmas copy also says two hours. The building
      opens two hours before the first departure and closes 30 minutes after the
      last arrival. FlightQueue 03:00–19:00 is not an official hour.
    summary: >-
      Official FAQ and security page both say arrive two hours early. There is
      no official live wait tile.
    category: timing
  - label: Layout
    title: 'One upstairs TSA, then A left for Delta and B for everyone else'
    detail: >-
      Live FIDS on 12 Sep 2026 pinned Delta to A1–A3, American to B1, United to
      B2–B4, Alaska to B5–B6, Southwest to B7. Confirm the board — ETEP has
      merged hold rooms.
    summary: >-
      After screening you walk Concourse A or Concourse B on the same sterile
      side — wrong gate is a walk, not a reclear.

  - label: Food
    title: Landside Copper Horse Bistro; airside restaurant on A and Ross Peak on B
    detail: >-
      Taco Jet prints 10:00–15:00 only and official pages do not pin a
      concourse. Copper Horse Market is landside at bags, 09:00–17:00. None of
      these is a lounge.
    summary: >-
      The only kitchen before TSA is the Bistro between the escalators. After
      TSA, eat at Copper Horse Restaurant (A) or Ross Peak Grill (B).

      Nov 2025 ETEP update: the new second floor will house a second TSA; the
      third floor will house admin offices and a future airport lounge. Aug 2026
      board still had a common-use lounge proposal — not a live club.
    summary: >-
      You are in one lodge-style building with one TSA. CLEAR is a mid-November

# Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport (BZN)
Bozeman, United States · North America
Montana’s busiest field put 2.81 million passengers through one lodge-style TSA in 2025: easy when the bank is quiet, no lounge, and the second checkpoint is still steel.
## Airportist Score

- Terminals: 1 terminal, 2 concourses (A / B), 1 TSA
