1. What items can I carry on the airplane?

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the airlines allow one carry-on bag and one personal item (such as a purse or laptop) to be carried on board the aircraft.  The size of a carry-on must meet airlines guidelines.  Those guidelines can be found on the individual carrier’s website.

No liquids or gels larger than three ounces in size may be taken through the checkpoint.  Any liquid, gel or aerosol must be in a container three ounces or less in size and all containers must fit into one, quart-sized, zip-top bag.
For more information check out "What to Know Before You Go" at http://www.tsa.gov/.

2. What type of IDs are acceptable for travel?

For domestic travel, one government-issued photo ID, such as a driver's license or passport, is sufficient. Children under 18 do not require a photo ID. For international travel, you will need a U.S. passport. For a complete list of acceptable identifications go to: http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/acceptable_documents.shtm.

3. Can I pull my car in front of the terminal and wait for my passenger?

People may still pull up in front of the terminal to drop off or pick up passengers, but the vehicle cannot be left unattended. If it is unattended, it will be ticketed and towed. If you should need special assistance with a passenger, enlist the services of a skycap, who will accompany your guest to the ticket counter while you park the car. If a skycap is not immediately available, seek out a police officer and explain your situation.

4. What if I need special assistance or have a child that is flying alone?

The airlines will allow a parent or caregiver to accompany a child or person who needs physical assistance to the gate. That person will be required to check in at the ticket counter and obtain a pass. A person without a pass will not be allowed to pass through the checkpoint.

5. What time should I get to the airport?

Will Rogers World Airport and all of the airlines recommend arriving at the airport one and a half hours prior to the departure time of your flight.

6. Can I park at the airport?
Yes. There are several parking options. Hourly parking is for people who will only be in the terminal a short time. The fee is $1/hour or $24/day, but the first hour of the first day is free. Long-term parking options include: 5-Story Covered Garage, $7/day; Lot #3 Long-Term Semi-Covered Shuttle, $6/day; Lot #2 Long-Term Shuttle, $5/day; Lot #1 Long-Term Remote Shuttle, $4/day
8. Do I need a boarding pass to get through the security checkpoint?

Yes. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requires that all passengers have a boarding pass and a photo ID to pass through the security checkpoint. Passengers will need to check in at the ticket counter or at one of the automated kiosks located at or near the ticket counters. Some airlines do issue boarding passes via the internet.

7. If I can't go to the gate, where do I wait for my guest?
Those seeing people off or picking up guests must wait in the area just before the security checkpoint. There is a sign that designates how far you can go. Because of the way Will Rogers airport is set up, all people exiting the concourses must exit the same way. So you won't miss your passenger.
