Wichita Airport Flight Departures (ICT)

Flight Departures at Wichita Airport

As you pass through Wichita Airport, online check-in enables you to print your boarding pass and, with some airlines, prepay baggage fees. This will also help you avoid long lines at the ticket window and, in many cases, save you a few dollars on baggage charges.

Using the airline's apps, you can check in and provide the boarding pass on your mobile device. Wichita Airport accepts boarding receipts in both print and electronic form.

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) checkpoint opens at four in the morning. You are strongly advised to reach ICT two hours before your flight. Check-in at the checkpoint is at least 90 minutes before departure, so you must be at your gate 30 minutes before departure.

Travelers must get there at least two hours before their flight takes off. Wait times are impacted by the season, time of day, weather, and other factors.

Make sure your bags are not overweight by weighing them before heading to the airport. For heavy and oversize loads, airlines charge more. Additionally, space in the overhead bins for large bags may be limited due to overbooked flights.

For details on baggage restrictions, costs, and other relevant information, consult the websites of your airlines.

Let's say your luggage weighs more than what is allowed. In that case, you won't receive transportation until you pay the additional sum at the ticket window or the same check-in counter. Never overlook including your name.

TSA Cares is a hotline that offers extra security screening to travelers with disabilities, medical conditions, and other exceptional circumstances.

TSA PreCheck is an expedited screening feature that permits pre-approved travelers to use specific screening lanes.

Because of its partnership with Envision, Wichita Airport provides free terminal access to Aira vision assistance service users. The airport will cover the cost of Aira subscribers' minutes inside the terminal complex.
