Best arrival time
90 minutes to 2 hours early is usually enough, though holiday mornings can justify more.
Peak hours
5:00 AM to 8:00 AM and 3:30 PM to 6:30 PM.
Pro tips
- The newer terminal is straightforward, but bag drop lines can move differently from security.
- Weather across the central U.S. can affect evening banks quickly.
- Garage and curb access are usually simple, but pickup lots can still slow around major events.
