Locations of Security Checkpoint(s)
Aspen Pitkin County Airport has one main security checkpoint located on the upper level of the terminal building. It is easily accessible from the ticketing and check-in area. Passengers are advised to arrive at the airport at least 90 minutes prior to their scheduled departure time to allow enough time for security screening.
Fast Track Lanes and Locations
There are no dedicated fast track lanes at Aspen Airport. However, TSA PreCheck is available for eligible passengers, which allows them to use expedited screening lanes and keep their shoes, belts, and light jackets on. The TSA PreCheck lane is located at the main security checkpoint.
Passport & Immigration Control Locations
ASE Airport does not have international flights, so there are no passport or immigration control locations within the airport. However, passengers traveling on domestic flights are still required to present a valid government-issued photo ID, such as a driver's license or passport, at the security checkpoint.
TSA and TSA Pre Checkpoints
The airport has both TSA and TSA Pre Checkpoints available for passengers. The TSA checkpoint is located on the main level of the terminal, near the ticket counters. Passengers will need to remove their shoes, belts, and any items from their pockets before going through the security screening. Liquids must also be placed in a clear plastic bag and presented to the TSA officer for inspection. The TSA Pre Checkpoint is located adjacent to the standard TSA checkpoint and is available for eligible passengers who have enrolled in the TSA PreCheck program. These passengers are able to keep their shoes, belts, and light jackets on, and can leave laptops and liquids in their carry-on bags.
