Every travel experience is different and it is important for travelers to understand the time requirements involved in a trip.

Check this websites's homepage for current security wait times and road conditions.

In certain circumstances, the TSA makes an exception to the "ticketed-passengers-only" rule for gate access.

Contact your passenger’s airline to find out its policy.
