The Basics - Tried and True Tips for Navigating the Airport

Check-in from home. Most airlines offer Web check-in. You can print your boarding pass at home; if you don't have luggage to check you can bypass the ticket counter completely and go straight through the security checkpoint and on to your gate.

Check your flight online before you leave home.

Get to the airport at least two hours before departure.

Pack with airport security in mind. Know what is and isn't allowed in carry-ons and checked luggage. Remember to leave checked luggage unlocked or use a TSA-approved lock (your luggage may be opened for security reasons).

Know your limit. You're allowed to board the plane with only one carry-on bag and one personal item like a purse, briefcase or laptop. Many airlines have added fees for some checked luggage.
Check directly with your airline for what’s free and what’s not.

Park in the Airport Garage. It's connected to the Main Terminal by covered skybridges (you'll stay dry). You're right at the airport (you'll save time). Check out the discounted weekly rates (you'll save money). Remember to note where you've parked (space number and elevator color).

Fuel up for the flight. In-flight meals have gone the way of printed airline tickets – they hardly exist. Dine at the airport to grab some take-out for the trip. The options are delicious.
