As Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial start of summer, Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) is preparing for a busy travel season. Travelers are encouraged to use these tips to help navigate through the airport with ease.

Arrivals Made Easy

  • Use the Cell Phone Lot: Avoid traffic jams—wait for your party in the free Cell Phone Lot on Kitty Hawk Way, open daily from 6 a.m. to 1 a.m.

  • Smart Pickups: Coordinate pickup at the numbered columns in passenger pickup areas for faster connections.

  • Skip the Curb Hassle: Parking at the curb is not allowed. If your guests aren’t ready, use Short-Term Parking (first 15 minutes are free!) or loop back to the Cell Phone Lot.

Plan Ahead for Smooth Departures

  • Make Parking Reservations in Advance: What began as a pilot program is now a permanent feature! Travelers can reserve parking in advance at Terminal 1 (Level 2M) for $28/day and Terminal 3 (Level 1) for $21/day. Save time and reduce stress by booking your spot at parking.harryreidairport.com.

  • Stay Informed: Follow @LASAirport on X/Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram for updates, parking info, and tips.

  • Know Before You Go: Visit tsa.gov or message @AskTSA for packing and screening questions.

  • Use Mobile Check-In: Save time by checking in through your airline’s app before heading to the airport.

  • Remote Bag Drop: Drop bags early and print boarding passes at the Rent-A-Car Center from 4 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Thursday through Monday.

  • Pack Smart: Review your airline’s baggage rules to avoid delays at check-in or security.
