Checkpoints and tips
One consolidated TSA checkpoint serves both concourses. TSA lists its hours as 3 a.m. to 10 p.m., and it stays open for delayed flights. The terminal itself closes after the last departure and reopens at 3 a.m. Only ticketed passengers with a flight within four hours can enter during closed hours, and the airport makes exceptions for passengers who need assistance.
- TSA PreCheck lanes are available at ELP. Use PreCheck if you are enrolled.
- CLEAR does not operate at El Paso, so a CLEAR membership will not speed up your security screening here.
- Look up the current wait on the TSA website or the airport site before you leave for the airport.
