To make your journey through the airport less stressful, follow these few tips: Check-in for departing flights is on the Departures Level (Level 3) of the Main Terminal. Check your ticket and the Departure/Arrivals Board whether you need to be on the A-side or B-side of the terminal. Domestic travelers can check in with the skycaps. You can also check in at one of the self-service kiosks inside the terminal. Once you have checked in and have your boarding pass, follow the overhead signage towards the gate from which your flight is departing. Check flight information displays for gate and departure time. Just before you board the AGT Train to the gate area you will pass through the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) security checkpoint. Check the overhead signage to make sure you take the right train. Its doors will automatically open when the inbound passengers have exited the train. You arrive in the hub of the Airside Terminal with facilities including bathrooms, telephones, restaurants and shops; signs will guide you to the proper wing and gate of your departure
