Know your airport's code: Each airport has a 3 letter code. The code for the Lea County Regional Airport is "HOB". The code for the George Bush Intercontinental Airport (Houston) is "IAH".
Update yourself on the latest security rules: You can get all the information you need at
www.tsa.gov.
Arrive early: Airlines normally ask you to be at the airport no less then two hours before departure time. You don't really need that time, but if anything goes wrong you will be happy to have it. Also, keep in mind that long distance international flights are normally fully booked, so it will be difficult to get on another plane if you miss your scheduled flight.
ID please: Adult passengers (18 and over) are required to show a U.S. federal or state-issued photo ID in order to be allowed to go through the checkpoint and onto their flight.
