How Early Should I Get to the Bozeman Airport?

Here’s the thing: at Old Faithful and Friends Taxi and Shuttle, we always recommend getting to the Bozeman airport at least two hours before your flight. It might sound like overkill, but trust us—you’ll be thankful for that extra time the one time you need it.

Why 2 Hours?

We get it. Bozeman’s airport isn’t as big and hectic as some of the larger ones, so you might think showing up an hour before is plenty of time. And for the most part, it is. But then there are those moments when TSA lines are longer than usual, or maybe you’ve got a couple extra bags to check in.

Having that extra time means you won’t be rushing through security, stressing about missing your flight, or panicking that your shuttle or taxi won’t get you there on time. It’s just a good rule of thumb—and you’ll be glad you followed it the one time it really matters.

The TSA Factor

When it comes to the TSA, the lines can vary depending on the time of day, the season, or just how many other passengers are traveling that day. Even though it’s usually pretty quick, you never know when you might hit a busy moment. That’s why showing up early gives you the cushion you need to get through security without feeling like you're on the clock. And let’s be real, there’s nothing worse than rushing through TSA with no time to spare.
