FAQ'S AND UPDATES

The Transportation Security Administration website can provide information on the security screening of passengers and baggage. Currently, TSA opens daily at 03:45 a.m. and closes at 7:00 p.m.

It is strongly recommended that passengers arrive at the airport at least 2 hours prior to their scheduled departure time.

NOTE: The Airline Kiosks also close 45 minutes prior to their scheduled flight departure times, and no agents will be available to check baggage or print boarding passes after this time.

Please contact your air carrier directly to check your flight status or go online to their website.

Each airline has its own operating hours. Currently, the airline check-in counters close 45 minutes prior to the scheduled flight departure time. No agents will be available to check baggage or print boarding passes after this time. Passengers need to allow enough time to complete the check-in and the TSA checkpoint procedures. All passengers must be at the boarding gate 15 minutes prior to departure or may be denied boarding

Weather conditions may at times affect airport operations. RDM does not usually close during most inclement weather conditions. The RDM terminal building will remain open at all times unless damaged or in case of an emergency.

Flight delays, cancellations, and re-routing decisions are made by the individual airline on a flight-by-flight basis. FAA air traffic controllers may also play a role in an airline's decision-making process. Information on a flight’s status is best found on the airline’s website.

RDM does not accept any responsibility or liability for delays to its services as a result of circumstances beyond its control including (but not limited to) traffic congestion, road accidents, flight delays and cancellations, security alerts, and severe weather conditions.

What is RDM Doing to Protect Passengers and Employees:

Increased the frequency and intensity of efforts to disinfect restrooms and other public areas with cleaning agents intended to kill germs.
Airlines have increased the frequency and intensity of efforts to disinfect aircraft and their facilities.
Multiple hand sanitizer stations throughout the Terminal.

Can I Travel with Marijuana?

Click Here for City of Redmond FAQ's regarding Marijuana

Marijuana and certain cannabis-infused products, including some Cannabidiol (CBD) oil, remain illegal under federal law except for products that contain no more than 0.3 percent THC on a dry weight basis or that are approved by FDA. (See the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, Pub. L. 115-334.) TSA officers are required to report any suspected violations of law to local, state, or federal authorities.

TSA’s screening procedures are focused on security and are designed to detect potential threats to aviation and passengers. Accordingly, TSA security officers do not search for marijuana or other illegal drugs, but if any illegal substance is discovered during security screening, TSA will refer the matter to a law enforcement officer.
