Airport Construction Update December
1, 2009
United, Continental,
and JetBlue are moving from Terminal C to Terminal A If you’re planning
a flight on JetBlue, United, or Continental this month, be sure you go to the
correct terminal. These carriers are moving from Terminal C to Terminal A
this week and next week.
Passengers who are
returning on these airlines after these dates should make note of the changes
so they can make the right arrangements for pick up and parking at Terminal
A. Go to the Airport’s website
for more information. This is the first
phase of airline transitions to their new locations at the During the busy
holiday travel season, all travelers should make sure they're ready for takeoff:
plan ahead, know the rules for security, and be at your terminal early. We
continue to advise our holiday travelers to get to their terminal at the airport at least 90
minutes before your flight (two hours for
international flights) so you have plenty of time to clear
security, find your gate, and perhaps to grab a bite to
eat. Many
infrequent flyers during the holidays are less familiar with the rules
and procedures for air travel and security, and that can slow things down for everyone. We recommend
that you go to www.tsa.gov
for the latest information about security procedures and what you
can and can’t take while flying. If you haven’t
flown from We also remind our
Southwest Airlines passengers that there’s a long walk between Gate 22, the
furthest open gate in our new Terminal B Concourse, and the Terminal A
checkpoint and baggage claim area. This is a temporary
situation because of the interim configuration of Terminal A and Terminal B
Concourse required for construction phasing. Any passenger who might
need assistance for this long walk should
ask a Southwest Airlines ticket agent or gate agent, or use an airport white
courtesy telephone to arrange for help or for a wheelchair.
This long walk will go away when we open Terminal B, which will then serve
these gates starting in June. For more information

Highlights
of Recent Terminal A Changes We’ve made major
changes to transform Terminal A in the past year. These include:
Safety Reminder Heavy construction
equipment continues to use airport roads. As always, please watch out for
other drivers, pedestrians, and construction workers. Airport parking control and traffic officers are there to
help keep traffic flowing safely, so please pay attention to them, too,
especially during peak times. And please, pedestrians should not walk through
construction zones – follow the designated walkways. Airport Construction
