BUR Airport Security: TSA, PreCheck and Arrival Advice

Use the TSA checkpoint inside the main entrance of the new terminal at 2827 N Hollywood Way. The airport map places ticketing on one side and baggage claim on the other. Older references to separate Terminal A and Terminal B checkpoints describe the former terminal.

Southwest recommends 120 minutes for BUR. The airport FAQ recommends at least one hour, increasing to two hours at peak holiday periods. These are different recommendations, not a promise about queue length. Follow the recommendation and check-in cutoff for your own airline.

A current opening and closing schedule for the replacement terminal checkpoint was not found in the airport's published guidance. Ask your airline about the first or last flight of the day. A ticket-counter schedule does not establish when security opens.

American Airlines lists TSA PreCheck as available at BUR. Its page still contains the old terminal address, so confirm the new checkpoint's lane hours with your airline or airport staff. The published information does not establish an all-day dedicated PreCheck lane.

BUR was not found in CLEAR's current location directory, and a checkpoint reservation program was not found in the airport passenger guidance. Check the providers before buying a service for this departure; plan around the regular checkpoint or the lane shown on your boarding pass.

The airport does not publish a live checkpoint queue on the pages checked. Southwest links to official TSA waiting information from its airport page. Treat any estimate as guidance and retain your airline's arrival buffer.

The airport map marks accessible facilities, family restrooms and adult changing rooms. Arrange mobility assistance with your airline before travel, particularly if you are connecting from a parking or rental-car shuttle.
