Pre-Flight Preparations
As with all passengers, a smooth travel experience begins before coming to the airport.
It starts when booking your flight.
Let the airline know what special help you may need; such as assistance unloading at the departure curb, wheelchair assistance to your departure gate, wheelchair assistance at your destination, or checking bags.
Please contact your airline in advance if you are not a passenger, but need to assist a small child or person with disabilities to their departure gate.
Another great resource is TSA Cares. By either going to the
TSA website, or calling their hotline, 1-855-787-2227, at least 72 hours before your flight, a TSA Passenger Support Specialist will meet you at the security checkpoint and accompany you through the screening. They will answer any questions and address any concerns you may have with the security process.

Accessible parking spaces are located on all levels near the elevators in both the Hourly Garage and Daily Garage.

Is Someone Meeting You?
If a friend, family member or business associate is meeting you upon your arrival at JAX, they will not be permitted to wait in their car at the arrivals curb. We recommend that the driver use JAX’s Courtesy Waiting Cell Phone Lot, located adjacent to the JAA Administration Building at 14201 Pecan Park Road. There the driver can comfortably wait for your call when you have all your luggage and are at the arrivals curb. The lot is about a two minute drive to the terminal.
