Austin-Bergstrom International is currently undergoing major expansion to accommodate rapid passenger growth. The airport's main Barbara Jordan Terminal has a centralized TSA checkpoint with TSA PreCheck lanes available. A new South Terminal facility handles select airlines like Allegiant and Frontier. AUS experiences significant volume spikes during South by Southwest (March), Austin City Limits (October), Formula 1 (November), and University of Texas events. Friday afternoons and Sunday evenings are the peak checkpoint times. The CapMetro Airport Flyer (Route 20) connects the airport to downtown Austin. Arrive 2 hours early during festival and event periods.
