Most important tips

Know before you go

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

Timing

Arrive 90 to 120 minutes early

The TSA page says 1.5 to 2 hours. The FAQ says at least 90 minutes.

Most airlines begin boarding 45 minutes before departure. The terminal opens two hours before the first daily flight and closes one hour after the last arrival. Admin hours are weekdays 7:30 AM–4:00 PM, closed federal holidays.

Terminal

One 2017 terminal

Check-in, security, and every boarding gate sit in one building.

Grand Rendezvous is landside in the meet-and-greet area. Columbia Bar & Grill, Fission Café, and Jump Off Joe / News and Gifts are in the boarding area. Family restrooms are landside near baggage claim and airside near the Lower West and East seating areas.

Food

Eat after security

Columbia Bar & Grill is the sit-down room. Fission is grab-and-go.

Grand Rendezvous at the front is open to non-ticketed guests and serves coffee plus items from Fission and Columbia. Official pages do not list hours or bottled-water prices.

Status

No lounge

There is no airline club or Priority Pass lounge. Columbia Bar & Grill is a restaurant.

Modified PreCheck has its own queue. REAL ID or TSA Confirm.ID ($45 / 10 days, live since 1 February 2026) applies if you lack acceptable ID. Non-flyers can apply for a PSC Pass (10 per day, 7 p.m. the day before on the program page).
