Passenger Drop-Off

Graphic with photo of pickup/dropoff in front of AUS that reads, "use upper or lower level for passenger drop-off, whichever is least congested."

AUS is busy! Both the upper and lower level roadways are open for passenger drop-off. People dropping passengers off are encouraged to use whichever level has the least amount of congestion. Passengers getting dropped off on the lower level/arrivals can take the elevator, escalator or stairs up to ticketing and TSA security. 

If you require assistance, such as wheelchair service or an escort to your gate, please provide advance notice to your airline; they will assist you through the airport and the screening queue line. Visit our Accessibility page for more information.
