To pick-up guests at the airport, we encourage you to use short term parking. After you park you will find the entrances to the airport very convenient.  There is no charge for the first thirty minutes in short term parking.

Q: What can I do to decrease the amount of time it takes me to get through security?

The following list is from the Travel Smart Newsletter:
1. Wear comfortable slip on shoes (and socks without holes). You may be asked to remove your shoes so they can be scanned. NO STEEL TOES.
2. Don't wear metal unless you can put it in that little tray for scanning - that means no underwire bras. If you have surgically implanted metal in your body, bring a note from your doctor.
3. Don't wrap presents. If it's not apparent what's inside from scanning, security will open packabes.
4. Check your purse and carry-ons for troublesome items: corkscrews, scissors, tweezers, metal nail files, pocket knives, butane lighters, manicure scissors and anything else pointy or sharp (no aerosol hairspray or lighters either). This is NOT a complete list. See the link below for the most up to date list of banned items.
