Warning

The South Terminal permanently ceased operations on March 31, 2026 (Frontier and Allegiant relocated to the Barbara Jordan Terminal), so all AUS flights now 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.
