It is recommended that passengers arrive at the airport at least two hours before their scheduled departure time to allow enough time to go through security.
Fast Track Lanes and Locations
SAT Airport offers a TSA PreCheck program for eligible passengers, which allows them to use the dedicated TSA PreCheck lanes and go through security more quickly. The TSA PreCheck lanes are located at both security checkpoints in Terminal A and Terminal B. In addition, the airport also offers a Clear program, which provides expedited security screening for members at a separate lane. The Clear lane is located at the security checkpoint near Gates 1-7 in Terminal A. Passengers can sign up for these programs online or at the airport.
Passport & Immigration Control Locations
The airport has a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) facility located in Terminal A for international arrivals. Passengers will go through passport and immigration control at this facility before collecting their luggage and exiting the airport. The CBP facility is open daily from 10:00am to 8:00pm. It is recommended that passengers check with their airline for specific instructions and requirements for international travel.
TSA and TSA Pre Checkpoints
SAT has TSA and TSA Pre Checkpoints to ensure the safety and security of all passengers. TSA Pre Check is available for eligible passengers who have completed a background check and are considered low-risk travelers. This program allows passengers to go through security checkpoints without removing shoes, belts, and certain liquids from their carry-on bags. Passengers who do not have TSA Pre Check can still go through the regular TSA checkpoint, which may require additional screening measures.
