ticket counter hours and location
Our ticket counter is located on the A Side of Level 3 and is open from 4:15 a.m. until 12:30 a.m.
We recommend you arrive at the airport 90 minutes prior to departure for domestic flights, and at least three hours prior to departure for international flights. 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.
