  • Drop-off and Curbside check-in for all passengers is now on the upper roadway in front of the Ticketing/Check-In on Herb Kelleher Way (formerly Cedar Springs Road).

 

  • The new Bag Claim Hall is now open.  Pick up for all arriving passengers is in front of Baggage Claim on the upper roadway of Herb Kelleher Way (formerly Cedar Springs Road).
