Checkpoints and tips
The TSA checkpoint opens about 90 minutes before the first departure of the day and is scheduled to close at 9 p.m. daily. If your flight is delayed past closing, the airport asks passengers to be screened and in the post-security area before 9 p.m.
- A third-party guide lists PreCheck lane hours as Monday through Thursday and Saturday, 3 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Friday, 4 a.m. to 8 p.m.; and Sunday, 3 a.m. to 7 p.m. Check the TSA schedule before you travel.
- CLEAR lanes are available at the checkpoint, and SDF has no permanent TSA enrollment center. Enroll for PreCheck at tsaprecheck.com or at a center elsewhere before your trip.
- For a late flight, clear security before 9 p.m. to avoid being turned away at the checkpoint.
