Have a
great trip!
Parking
The airport has a number of paid parking lots. Parking is $10 per day (Tuskegee Airmen/Amelia Earhart Lots) or $9 per day (Wright Brothers Lot). The lots are automated and accessible 24 hours a day. When entering a paid lot, take a ticket and the gate will open. KEEP THIS TICKET. The system will automatically calculate the amount owed when visitors want to leave the lot. Visitors may pay using a credit card only at the exit gate when leaving.
To pay for your parking, the kiosks located in the terminal or in baggage claim should be used (in-terminal kiosks accept credit cards). For assistance, push the help button at the gates or kiosks.
A shuttle bus serves the overflow lot near the Scotch Road entrance. For more information on parking, or for assistance, call 609-306-7805.
Terminal Accommodations
Passengers may either visit the convenient downstairs snack bar or head upstairs to the airport’s on-site restaurant — Sky Lounge — to enjoy a full kitchen menu of hot pub fare.

TSA Check-in
The TSA screening checkpoint is found downstairs. Once screened, passengers will enter a waiting area, called the Sterile Area, where they will wait for their flight to be called.
