Travel Advisory
Palm Springs International Airport

In light of the recent terrorist attacks against the United States involving the commercial airline industry, the Federal Aviation Administration has instituted heightened security measures which are now in place at all commercial service airports including Palm Springs International Airport. These events have altered the way we fly both domestically and internationally.

Below are some important changes which related to what you can expect when visiting the Airport to pick-up or drop-off passengers as well as when you next travel by air:
Domestic travelers are asked to check-in approximately two (2) hours prior to scheduled departure time.
International travelers are asked to check-in approximately three (3) hours prior to scheduled departures time.
Checking baggage at the terminal curbside has been suspended indefinitely.
Travelers must check baggage at the airline ticket counter inside the terminal.
Access beyond the security checkpoint to boarding areas will be limited to those passengers producing proof of travel (i.e. ticket, boarding pass, e-ticket confirmation).
Customers must possess valid government-issued photo identification as it will be requested during the check-in, security checkpoint, and boarding process.
No knives of any kind or sharp object may be carried onboard aircraft.
Passengers must closely control personal baggage and packages traveling with them to avoid the possibility of transporting items without their knowledge.
Unattended bags are subject to inspection and confiscation.
Private vehicles are allowed to pick-up and drop off passengers at the terminal curbside. However private vehicle will not be allowed to sit at the curbside, even if the driver remains with the vehicle.
Please contact your airline prior to departing from the Airport to obtain the latest flight arrival and departure information. While the majority of scheduled local flights are operating, delays or cancellations are possible. It is also suggested that passengers reconfirm future reservations in the aftermath of recent schedule changes. Contact information for those carriers providing service at Palm Springs International Airport is provided below.
