How early should I arrive at the airport before my flight?

Please arrive 2 hours prior to departure for check-in and security screening.

Is smoking allowed in the terminal?

No. We do not sell cigarettes nor allow smoking anywhere in the terminal. Designated smoking areas are located outside in front of the terminal and on the east and west sides of the terminal.

What is a concourse pass? Can you escort a child or someone needing help to the gate?

Your airline may issue a concourse pass for someone to escort an unaccompanied minor child, an elderly person or someone with special needs through the security screening checkpoint and to the gate. You must still show valid government issued identification. Please contact your airline before your travel date to arrange a concourse pass.  Authority to issue a concourse pass rests solely with the airline.

What type of identification do I need?

Passengers 18 and over must show a photo ID issued by federal or state government that contains your name, date of birth, gender and an expiration date. See acceptable documents.

How do I get a wheelchair?

This service is provided by airlines. Please make your arrangements in advance when you book your flight. In the airport, call Customer Care at 501-375-1509 to request assistance.

Can I take a prescription in my carry-on? What if it needs refrigeration?

We recommend that you carry all medications (and valuables) in your carry-on bag. Please adopt the 3-1-1 liquids rule--all liquids, gels, aerosols, creams and pastes must be 3.4 oz (100ml) or less per container, and containers must be stored in a 1-quart clear plastic zip-top bag. Medication in liquid form is allowed in carry-on bags in excess of 3.4 ounces; the traveler should inform the TSA officer of these medically necessary liquids and separate them from other belongings before screening begins. Passengers are allowed to bring medications in pill or other solid form through security screening checkpoints in unlimited amounts, as long as they are screened. If a passenger does not want a medication X-rayed, he or she may ask for an inspection instead. This request must be made before screening begins. You may keep your medication on ice until it’s time to process through screening. Once at screening, the ice will need to be dumped. You can get more ice at one of the post-screening restaurants.
