Though the Federal Aviation Administration has advised arriving two hours before flight departure at the country’s major airports, passengers should arrive only an hour before departure at Texas A&M’s Easterwood airport, officials said.
Passengers should, in addition to arriving one hour before a flight is scheduled to depart, call their airline to confirm flight arrival and departure times before heading to the airport, said Easterwood Director John Happ.
The Easterwood terminals are open from 5 a.m. to midnight.
The number of carry-on bags authorized for each passenger is restricted to one bag, plus one personal item such as a purse, briefcase, laptop computer or backpack. This helps to expedite the screening process and reduces the potential for delays, Happ said.
Bags should not be left unattended in the parking lot, at the loading and unloading area on the lower level or inside the Easterwood terminals.
