What time should I arrive at AUS before my scheduled departure? (2024)

Passengers are advised to arrive in the Barbara-Jordan terminal at least two hours prior to departure time during the daily peak travel times of 5 a.m. to 8 a.m., 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., and 3 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. AUS Lines will be longer during these peak times with security waits over 45 minutes possible. For all other flight times, AUS passengers are advised to arrive at least 90 minutes prior to departure.

The South Terminal recommends arriving at least 90 minutes before the boarding time listed on your boarding pass. This will allow you to check your bags, process through security, and be in the Departures Lounge with plenty of time before your flight.
