  • Touchless ID is available at the main checkpoint for TSA PreCheck members flying with participating airlines. It launched in May 2026.
  • Arrive at least two hours before a domestic flight, and three hours before an international flight.
  • International arrivals are rare at the Sunport, and they are processed at Gate C1, where U.S. Customs is located.
