Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport Security Checkpoint

Security checkpoint
When planning your arrival time, please consider non-security related delays, including parking and airline check-in. Due to the high volume of travelers, we recommend arriving two hours before your scheduled flight in summer months and other busy seasons, such as Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Our security checkpoint is located on the second floor of the terminal, conveniently accessible by elevator, escalator or stairs.

Gateside by TSA PreCheck is now available at BZN! Those who enjoy TSA PreCheck® benefits can now apply for Gateside by TSA PreCheck to access the post-security area at Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport without a departing flight. Once approved, they may meet arriving passengers at the gate, accompany departing travelers, or enjoy shopping and dining beyond security. A Gateside pass must be requested online 1-3 days in advance and require screening through a TSA PreCheck lane. Learn more and apply for you pass at: https://www.tsa.gov/precheck/gateside-tsa-precheck
