Officials at San Antonio International Airport (SAT) are offering tips to better serve you in your use of our Airport facilities.  As a result of heightened security measures imposed by the Transportation Security Administration, San Antonio International recommends the following:

When driving to the airport, patrons should arrive 2 hours prior to their scheduled departure, especially if planning to use one of the parking lots. Only immediate drop-off and pick-up of passengers will be permitted at terminal curbside locations.  Prior to arriving at the Airport, travelers should check with the airlines or their travel agent to be sure there have not been any last-minute changes in  travel itineraries. Be prepared to present photo identification to airline personnel upon check in.  Airline officials recommend placing ID tags on the outside and inside of each piece of luggage. Complimentary ID tags are available at the airline ticket counters.   Travelers should be prepared to have their bags searched and expect delays at the Airport security checkpoints. No knives, scissors, sharp instruments or any kind of object that could be considered a weapon will be allowed through the security checkpoints. For airport information, travelers may call San Antonio International Airport Paging and Information at 210-207-3411.
