A new program allows individuals to meet loved ones at airport gates without needing a ticket. Eligible visitors can use this service to welcome or bid farewell to family and friends. They can also meet someone during a layover or visit airport amenities beyond security checkpoints.

This program is not available at certain airports, including two major ones. However, an alternative is available at a participating airport located in Dallas. Further information on eligibility and program details can be found through the Transportation Security Administration.

Expansion to more airports is planned, but specifics are not yet available.
