Checkpoints and tips
The terminal opens daily at 4 a.m., and airline check-in counters generally open about two hours before the first scheduled flight of the day. TSA PreCheck lanes are available. I did not confirm Touchless ID or a CLEAR lane at VPS, so check before you travel.
- Plan about two hours at the airport for domestic flights, and up to three hours for international travel, according to a third-party guide.
- Bring a REAL ID or another accepted ID, since REAL ID is required for domestic flights.
- Dunkin' and The Market are in the main terminal lobby before security, so you can grab food before you go through the checkpoint.
- After security, the Concourse C eateries include Doolittle's Annex, an Airstream trailer dining spot overlooking the airfield.
