Preparing to Travel:

Travelers should allow ample time for traveling to the airports, ticketing and checking baggage. It is suggested that all domestic and international departing passengers arrive at least two hours prior to their scheduled flight departure.  Remember 3-1-1. If planning to travel with liquids, gels or aerosols in carry-on bags, passengers must pack them in 3 ounce or smaller containers; containers must be in a 1 quart-size, clear, plastic, zip-top bag and placed in the security bin. Only one zip-top bag is permitted per traveler. Go to www.tsa.gov for more details.

Don’t idle at the curb front. There is a “zero tolerance” policy for illegal parking in and around the airport. Unattended vehicles parked in front of terminal curb fronts will be ticketed and towed.
