Mobile Regional Airport

Mobile, United States · North America

A compact second-floor-TSA west-Mobile hall with leftover $10 Long-Term and a pay Executive Club — no Priority Pass pin, a BFM move that is leftover Fall 2026 vs leftover Q1 2027, and a live 15 Sep 2026 FIDS that is still American Eagle, Delta, and United Express only.

Most important tips

Know before you go

A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.

Timing

Treat 4:00 a.m. as the terminal leftover clock

Official leftover arrive 90 minutes before domestic flights and be at the gate 30 minutes prior. Peak leftover Monday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday.

Official leftover TSA is on the second floor. American.com leftover Daily 3:30 a.m.–7:15 p.m., cash/checks not accepted, curbside Not Available, PreCheck Available, clubs Not Available, counter closes 45 minutes before departure. Official leftover 2-hour international clock is leftover vs a U.S.-only dest card. averageSecurityMinutes 12 is editorial unpublished.

Terminal

One hall — buy the club landside, fly from the second floor

Ticketed passengers use one civil hall. Official leftover TSA, gates, Chart Room, Cruise City, Hudson, and the Executive Club sit after the second-floor checkpoint.

Official leftover bag claim is first floor, to the right of the escalators and elevators. Official leftover charging bar is the second-floor lobby before TSA. iFly leftover two first-floor checkpoints is leftover fiction — trust the official second-floor card. Official pages do not print a live airline-to-gate map — read FIDS.

Food

Chart Room leftover 6 a.m.–6 p.m.; everything else is unpublished

Official leftover Chart Room Bar is the only shop-dine card with a printed clock: 6:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m. seven days, after TSA.

Official leftover Cruise City Bar and Grill, Hudson News, Carpe Diem coffee at the restaurants, and a shoe-shine stand are also after TSA; hours unpublished. Official pages do not print a bottle tariff. Empty the bottle at TSA.

Status

Commercial flights are still at MOB — BFM is leftover, not live

Live 15 Sep 2026 FlightAware still banks American, Delta, and United at MOB. Official July 3 2025 leftover Fall 2026 / first BFM flight by November vs al.com May 2026 leftover Q1 2027 / date elusive.

Do not check in at BFM, Brookley, or Mobile International for a ticketed MOB itinerary. Upon opening, official leftover Delta, United, and American move — that move is not on the 15 Sep 2026 board.

Live conditions

Honest verdict

Who this airport works for

Best for

Drive-up Gulf Coast trips that want leftover $10 Long-Term after 15 free minutes
Same-day DFW / CLT / ATL / IAH / IAD banks that will buy the airport Executive Club at Customer Service
Arrivals who will take official leftover Uber/Lyft at the southwest corner or a bag-claim rental rather than wait for a bus the official card does not print

Watch out for

Official July 3 2025 leftover Fall 2026 BFM opening vs al.com May 2026 leftover Q1 2027 / date elusive — live 15 Sep 2026 flights are still at MOB
Official COVID leftover still prints a 31 Mar 2020 Executive Club closure while the homepage and Customer Service still sell it
Official transportation card does not print a city bus; Second Line leftover launches 28 Sep 2026
AirNav leftover 11 miles west vs Wikipedia leftover 13 miles west; Acting ED leftover 1891 9th Street (BFM admin) vs terminal 8400 Airport Blvd
