Warning

The South Terminal closed in 2024 for redevelopment, so all AUS flights currently operate through the single Barbara Jordan Terminal. Enclosure details for the Gate 9 indoor relief area are not extensively documented online — field verification recommended. AUS pet policy requires pets to remain in carriers at all times except in relief areas or when directed by TSA.

1 post-security indoor pet relief area near Gate 9 (Barbara Jordan Terminal), plus 2 pre-security outdoor areas on the lower level (east and west sides, across from baggage claim) with synthetic grass, fire hydrants, water fountain, waste bags, and lighting.
