Gate 24 caffeine stop before early OKC departures
This Starbucks sits in the Main Terminal by Gate 24, handy if you’re on the American or United side and want a known quantity before boarding. It’s past security, so you don’t need to pad in extra time beyond TSA to grab a drink and head straight to your gate.
Hours run daily from 5am to 8pm, which covers the first OKC departures and most evening flights but not the very last banks. If you land after 8pm, plan on grabbing water or snacks from another shop instead of relying on a late coffee run here.
Menu is the usual Starbucks lineup: espresso drinks, drip coffee, teas, refreshers, and breakfast sandwiches at standard airport pricing (expect your latte to run about a dollar or two higher than in-town OKC stores). Mobile order isn’t always active airside, so be ready to order at the counter during rushes.
Morning lines around the 6am–7:30am departure wave can stack 10–15 people deep; add a 10-minute buffer if your boarding pass shows Group 1 or earlier. Midday and mid-afternoon are noticeably calmer, so that’s the easiest time to grab a drink and a snack without clock-watching.
Quick tip: if the line looks long, check the pastry case first; if there’s only a few breakfast sandwiches left at 9am, grab one while you queue so it doesn’t disappear before you reach the register.
