About this location
Terminal 8's counter runs the same 4am-to-8pm window as its Terminal 1 counterpart, opening ahead of the terminal's early departures and shutting well before the evening rush. It's positioned near Carl's Jr., Engine Company No. 28 and Panda Express, none of which close as early. A traveler with a late-evening flight out of Terminal 8 will find this closed by the time boarding starts, unlike the pre-security Terminal 7 location that runs two hours longer.
Other options in Terminal 8
