Checkpoints and tips
There is a single centralized TSA checkpoint on Level 2 serving all airlines and all three concourses.
- TSA PreCheck is available at the main checkpoint. CLEAR is also offered, with enrollment on the second floor next to the checkpoint.
- Because there is only one checkpoint, expect longer lines when several airlines depart at once. Live wait times are posted on the airport website.
- TSA checkpoint door and exit lane upgrades are scheduled from July 2026 to June 2027, so you may see temporary changes.
