Warning

As of mid-2026, Terminal A (Marine Air Terminal) has NO scheduled commercial passenger service — Spirit ceased operations May 2, 2026 and Frontier moved to Terminal B in 2024; the TSA checkpoint is closed. If you're routed through T-A note it has no post-security pet relief. Terminals B and C are NOT connected airside — re-clear security to switch via free shuttle.

Multiple post-security relief areas in the $5B Terminal B and $4B Terminal C (both opened 2022). Terminal A (historic Marine Air Terminal) has no scheduled commercial passenger service as of mid-2026 (Spirit shut down May 2026; TSA checkpoint closed) and never had a post-security relief option.
