Most important tips
A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.
Standard security averages 10-20 min off-peak but can hit 30-45 min in morning banks—PreCheck/CLEAR cuts it dramatically.
Checkpoints open 3:30/3:45 a.m.; peak 6-9 a.m. and event weekends (Indy 500) need extra buffer.
Use the shorter line at A or B then walk the connector; no re-screening needed between concourses.
Delta/United/Air Canada mostly A; Southwest/American/Allegiant mostly B—walking end-to-end is under 10-15 min.
Use INDOrderNow.com for Harry & Izzy’s, Shapiro’s, Bub’s or Shake Shack to skip lines; 24/7 vending for salads.
Civic Plaza (pre-security) has Chick-fil-A/McD’s open to all; airside local options beat generic chains.
Delta Sky Club is the only true lounge; Priority Pass gets $28 food/drink credit at The Tap (B end).
USO is landside for military only; no paid day-pass lounges—comfortable gate seating fills the gap.
Best full-service airline lounge at IND if you already have access; skip a paid day pass unless your wait is long.

Excellent free support space for eligible military travelers — use it.
