June 7, 20265/30/26, Excellent experience. Transient parking is southeast of the tower, in front of the Radisson. Keep in mind the Radisson exit gate is locked while the hotel is being renovated, so use the gate by the main terminal instead. Bring your pilot certificate and ID. Security checks your ID before escorting you back to the plane. The security desk next to the restaurant promptly sent someone with us when we asked, and they also said the officer parked outside the terminal could provide an escort. Self-serve fuel north of the tower worked great.

January 5, 2026Same transient experience today. You cannot just stop by for lunch and anticipate getting back to your plane. On weekends you must arrange access 24 hours ahead of time. I comprehend it is a TSA secured area but seriously, you need to serve your patrons better.
