Las Vegas McCarran International Airport - Traveler Tips

Notify your Airline

Advise your airline of any requirements including the need to assist unaccompanied minors, disabled passengers, or carry special medical supplies on board.

Pack Smart

  • Tag checked and carry-on luggage inside and out with your name, address, and phone number.
  • Pack your medication, passport, jewelry, important documents, and other valuables in your carry-on luggage.
  • Do not place wrapped gifts in either checked or carry-on luggage.
  • Remember that all checked and carry-on luggage may be subject to search.

Call Ahead

Contact your airline to verify flight information and check the status of your flight before coming to the airport.

Don't Forget Your Travel Documents

Before leaving for the airport, make sure you have your ticket and proper identification. If you’re traveling ticketless, bring a printed confirmation with valid ticket number or airline/agency-generated itinerary with valid ticket number.

Bring Valid Identification

Adults need an official photo I.D. issued by a government authority or two other forms of valid I.D., one of which must be issued by a government authority. Minors are not required to have I.D.

Arrive Early

Arrive approximately two hours prior to your scheduled departure to allow plenty of time for security procedures. Contact your airline for specific flight information and suggested arrival times.
