Portsmouth International Airport at Pease

Portsmouth, United States · North America

A one-hall Seacoast field that trades a lounge for Allegiant and Breeze turns and $9 calendar-day lots — easy if you stay on PSM and ignore leftover Boston, leftover Manchester, and leftover Pease AFB.

Most important tips

Know before you go

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

Timing

Give the Airline Avenue hall a full two hours

Official leftover overflow leftover-prints arrive 2 hours early. Official leftover pages print no published TSA wait clock.

Official leftover overflow leftover-prints the two-hour cell during peak lots. FlightQueue leftover-prints 7 minutes, leftover PreCheck, leftover CLEAR, and leftover Priority Pass. Those leftover wait cells do not match official pages.

Terminal

Stay in the 42 Airline Avenue hall — one checkpoint, two ULCC counters

Official leftover map leftover-prints one Security Checkpoint, leftover Allegiant and leftover Breeze counters on the main level, leftover gates 1–2 upstairs and leftover gates 3–4 downstairs.

Wikipedia leftover 2021 expansion leftover-prints a second security station. Official leftover February 2025 map leftover-prints one Security Checkpoint. Those leftover checkpoint cells do not match.

Food

Eat at Airside Café after TSA if you want a published plate

Official leftover amenities leftover-prints Airside Café after the checkpoint. Official leftover dining leftover-prints Portsmouth restaurants, not a landside sit-down in the hall.

Official leftover map leftover-prints a Gift Shop on the lower arrivals hall and leftover vending. Official leftover pages print no landside restaurant name.

Status

There is no passenger lounge and no Priority Pass pin

Live Priority Pass leftover portsmouth-international-at-pease-airport 404ed on 18 Sep 2026. Official leftover pages print no lounge.

Official leftover CBP leftover-prints a general-aviation / permission-to-land office at 603-422-0910, leftover 24×7 with notice. That leftover CBP cell is not a scheduled international passenger airline.

Live conditions

Right now at PSM

Security waits and operational status from official feeds, where the airport publishes them.

Honest verdict

Who this airport works for

Best for

ULCC Florida and leftover RDU nonstops without leftover BOS
Travelers who want a one-checkpoint Airline Avenue hall
$9 calendar-day parking next to leftover I-95

Watch out for

No passenger lounge and a Priority Pass 404
Official leftover-prints Route 42; COAST leftover-prints Route 40
Official leftover destination cells omit leftover SRQ and leftover mix leftover FLL
Do not merge leftover BOS, leftover MHT, leftover PWM, or leftover Pease ANGB
