Tips from the Airport
- You may not park and wait in front of the terminal. Use the cell phone lot if you’re picking up guests. The front of the terminal is for quick pickup and drop-off.
- Check in for your flight 24 hours before departure time.
- If you need assistance in any of the parking areas, your windshield scraped or a flat tire inflated, call ABM Parking at 316-946-4772.
- Check your luggage before packing to make sure you have no prohibited items in your carry-on or checked bags.
- Each airline has different weight and size requirements for baggage. Visit the airline’s websites so you won’t have any surprises when you arrive at the airport.
- Visit flywichita.com for parking and airline information, ground transportation and airport services.
