TSA PreCheck

TSA PreCheck is accessible at both security checkpoints. Frequent flyers can benefit from this program, which offers a more expedited screening process, often requiring less than 5 minutes. This convenience allows travelers to proceed without removing shoes, belts, and laptops from their cases.

TSA PreCheck Operating Hours:

  • North Concourse Checkpoint
    • Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday: 4:00 AM to 7:00 PM
    • Thursday and Friday: 4:00 AM to 8:00 PM
    • Saturday: 4:00 AM to 6:00 PM
    • Sunday: 4:00 AM to 7:00 PM
  • South Concourse Checkpoint
    • Monday and Thursday to Sunday: 4:00 AM to 8:00 PM
    • Tuesday and Wednesday: 4:00 AM to 7:00 PM

Note: The Transportation Security Agency (TSA) advises that the hours for TSA PreCheck may vary depending on operational requirements. Furthermore, TSA emphasizes the integration of variable security protocols across the airport, ensuring that expedited screening is not assured for any traveler.
