The following information was provided by the Transportation Security Administration.

Check with your airline or travel agent to determine how early to arrive at the airport. Recommended check-in times differ by airline and airport. Recommended check in time at the Hays Regional Airport is one hour before departing time.

Check with your airport to confirm which parking lots are open if you will be parking at the airport. Some lots may be closed for security reasons. Be sure to allow extra time for parking and shuttle transportation.

Check to make sure you:

• Bring a boarding pass ticket or ticket confirmation such as a printed itinerary as well as a government-issued photo ID. Children under the age of 18 do not require an ID. At some airports only boarding passes will be accepted to enter the passenger checkpoint.
   
• Bring evidence verifying you have a medical implant or other device if it is likely to set off the alarm on the metal detector bring evidence verifying this condition. Although this is not a requirement it may help to expedite the screening process.
   
• Have removed prohibited items such as pocketknives metal scissors with pointed tips (metal or plastic scissors with blunt tips are permitted) and tools from your carry-on baggage. Double check the list of prohibited and permitted items to determine what can be placed in carry-on or checked baggage if you have any questions.
   
• Have reviewed TSA's guidance on unlocking checked baggage.

Have a safe trip and enjoy your flight!
