Checkpoints and tips

- TSA PreCheck is available again at the main checkpoint after being temporarily moved to the secondary location.
- The secondary checkpoint near the Sheraton Hotel is open for TSA PreCheck and CLEAR Plus with PreCheck passengers.
- The central exit lane that arriving passengers used for years was removed to make room for the expansion. Use the new east and west exit corridors to reach baggage claim.
