## Insider tips

- _Quiet_: Looking for peace before your flight? The animal relief area inside security near Gate 7 serves as a quiet spot and handy navigation point.
- _Avoid_: Don’t show up with cash or checks at the American Airlines ticket counter. They’ve gone card-only, so plan accordingly.
- _Time_: With TSA PreCheck, you can breeze through LBB's security process even faster. It’s a handy perk given the airport’s compact security setup.
- _Insider_: With its small footprint, arriving early is more about comfort than necessity. No long security lines to fret over here.
- _Local_: Remember there’s an outside animal relief area on the east end; crucial for pet arrivals who need quick outside access post-flight.
- _Money_: Free Wi-Fi and charging stations make the gate area a surprisingly good, cost-effective alternative to lounge spaces.
