  • Etiquette: The airport asks travelers to be considerate and clean up after their animals.

Pre-Security (Landside)

South Terminal

    • One outside Door 1 on the lower level, in the courtyard area.
    • One on the commercial curb.
  • Outside Baggage Claim 8: One more animal relief area on the commercial curb.

North Terminal
