Arrival and Check-In
Unless you specifically are told otherwise, plan to check in at the airline ticket
counter.
Arrive early. While airline recommendations vary on how long before departure
passengers should arrive, a good rule of thumb is two hours. Be sure to allow extra
time for parking and shuttle transportation.
Take public transportation to the airport when possible.
In many airports, baggage can be checked curbside or via an automated kiosk. Call
the airport before you go to see if they're available at your terminal. If not, plan to
check in at the airline ticket counter.
If you are traveling with an e-ticket and only a carry-on bag, ask your travel agent or
airline if you can pass straight through security. Standards vary, but typically, to do
this, passengers with e-tickets will need a picture I.D. (driver's
license/passport/government-issued I.D.) plus one of the following documents
displaying a ticket number; copy of an e-ticket receipt; airline-generated itinerary
confirming an e-ticket confirmation. You may also need to show the credit card you
used to purchase your e-ticket.
All adult passengers must have a picture I.D. (driver's license/passport/
government-issued I.D.). When making reservations, use the exact name appearing
on the I.D. you will present at the airport. If your name has changed and the name
on your ticket and your I.D. differ, bring documentation of the change (e.g. Marriage
certificate or court order).
Non U.S. Citizens boarding international flights are required by the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) to show evidence of admission into the United States, such as
a visa, I-94, parole letter or alien resident card.
