ticket counter hours and location
Our ticket counter is located in Terminal 6 and is open during the following hours:
Daily: 9:15 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. & 6:30 p.m. - 11:30 p.m.
We recommend you arrive at the airport at least 90 minutes prior to departure. Avoid delays by checking for traffic alerts, and allow enough time to go through TSA screening, particularly during holidays and peak travel days.

You will need a boarding pass to get through security.
