Eppley Airfield Map (Most Up-To-Date)
Eppley Airfield’s current terminal layout functions as two end-cap halls split by the Build OMA construction footprint, with landside circulation pushed into the South Garage. North-side services cluster by Door 5, south-side services cluster by Door 1, and the central frontage behaves like a detour zone rather than a true “front curb.” Within Omaha’s main air-travel hub, your fastest moves depend on picking the correct door anchor first, then matching garage section letters/numbers.
Map Table
| Terminal | Key Airlines | Primary Function | Transfer Mode |
|---|---|---|---|
| North Terminal (Door 5) | Allegiant, Southwest, United | North ticketing, North TSA, North baggage claim | exterior median walk, South Garage Level 1 |
| South Terminal (Door 1) | Alaska, American, Delta, Frontier | South ticketing, South TSA, South baggage claim | exterior median walk, South Garage Level 1 |
| South Garage Level 1 | private vehicles | passenger pickup, passenger drop-off | garage lanes, pedestrian crosswalks |
| Commercial Lane (Doors 2 & 4 area) | shuttles, buses | ParkOMA shuttle stops, hotel shuttles, Metro Route 16 | curb stop, median crossing |
Eppley Airfield Map Strategy
- Treat Door 1 vs Door 5 as your first decision: match your airline to the correct terminal half before you enter the garage lanes or commit to a door.
- Use the South Garage Level 1 zone labels to prevent missed pickups: arrivals pickup A1–A4, departures drop-off B1–B4 and C1–C4, then walk out to the matching door anchor.
- For rideshare and taxis, ignore the old curb instinct and walk directly to the South Garage Ground Floor pickup zone at Section D3 (far west end), then confirm the D3 marker before requesting pickup.
- For early-morning security surges, find the checkpoint entrance first and judge overflow by landmarks (Hudson News and the Runway Bar & Grill locations), not by the center of the building where circulation is disrupted.

Construction-era operations continue to run as a “Terminal Split,” with Door 1 and Door 5 acting as the reliable ends-of-building access points while central areas shift with the work zone. Garage-based pickup/drop-off remains the functional curb replacement, and shuttle activity concentrates around the commercial-lane stops near Doors 2 and 4 for ParkOMA routing.

What is the exact pedestrian walking path from the temporary garage drop-off zone to the main ticketing hall entrance?
Exiting the South Garage Level 1 drop-off lanes and walking across the center median to the correct terminal door (Door 5 for the North Terminal, Door 1 for the South Terminal) is the required path during the Terminal Split. From drop-off zones B1–C4, the walk typically runs 2–4 minutes depending on luggage and how far along the garage lane you stop.
From a B1–C4 drop-off position, walk to the nearest signed pedestrian exit from South Garage Level 1, then cross the marked crosswalk to the Terminal Drive center median. Turn toward your ticketing hall’s anchor door and stay on the median-side sidewalk: Door 5 leads directly into North Terminal ticketing (Allegiant, Southwest, United) and Door 1 leads directly into South Terminal ticketing (Alaska, American, Delta, Frontier). Avoid the central frontage doors if they appear closer, since access can be restricted or misaligned by the construction footprint.
Which garage level and door number is the designated current pickup/drop-off entry point that feeds the terminal fastest?
All private-vehicle pickup and drop-off is on South Garage Level 1, with the fastest terminal access coming from the end-door anchors Door 5 for the North Terminal and Door 1 for the South Terminal. Level 1 garage staging uses section labels to keep flows separated, so matching your terminal door is more important than aiming for the middle of the building.
Arrivals pickup concentrates in A1–A4 on South Garage Level 1, while departures drop-off stages in B1–B4 and C1–C4 on the same level. From those lanes, the quickest pedestrian connection is to exit the garage at the nearest signed crosswalk and walk the center median sidewalk straight to Door 5 for North Terminal ticketing or Door 1 for South Terminal ticketing. Central doors can be intermittently closed or lead into detours during the Build OMA phase, so treat Door 1 and Door 5 as the reliable “fast feed” points.
Where is the North Lot shuttle pickup point located relative to the lot’s primary pedestrian exit?
The North Economy lot shuttle pickup occurs at the lot-side passenger pickup area used by the ParkOMA shuttle system, with service described as picking up at or near where you park rather than requiring a long walk to a single curb stop. This makes the “pickup point” functionally aligned with the lot’s main drive aisles rather than a terminal-style platform.
For orientation, treat the lot’s primary pedestrian exit/drive-out area as your reference: the shuttle meets passengers in the lot itself and then runs to the terminal-area commercial-lane stops near Door 2 and Door 4. If you choose to walk out instead of waiting in-lot, the quickest fail-safe is to head to the terminal-side shuttle stops at Doors 2 or 4 for the return trip, since multiple economy lots share those stops and boarding the wrong shuttle can add a long loop delay.
What is the exact vehicle route length from the North Lot shuttle pickup to the terminal curb/garage terminal entrance?
The ParkOMA North Economy shuttle route length is approximately 1.3 miles from the North Economy lot pickup to the terminal-area drop-off. Shuttle drop-off uses the commercial-lane stops across from Door 2 and Door 4 rather than the South Garage Level 1 pickup/drop-off lanes.
From the North Economy lot, the shuttle follows internal lot roads and the airport roadway loop to reach the Commercial Lane frontage, typically running about 5–6 minutes in transit. If you’re trying to reach garage-based pickup/drop-off from the shuttle stop, plan an additional median crossing and walk into the South Garage after exiting near Doors 2 or 4, since shuttles and private vehicles are separated during construction.
Where does the standard (non-PreCheck) TSA line physically begin on the departures level?
The standard (non-PreCheck) TSA line begins at the Level 2 checkpoint entrance for your terminal half, not at a central checkpoint. During the Terminal Split, North Terminal screening queues form at the North Level 2 checkpoint, and South Terminal screening queues form at the South Level 2 checkpoint.
In the North Terminal (Concourse B side), the standard queue forms directly in front of the Level 2 checkpoint entrance and then extends outward into the departures-side circulation space. In the South Terminal (Concourse A side), the standard queue similarly starts at the Level 2 checkpoint entrance and runs back along the departures hall geometry. The quickest way to avoid starting in the wrong place is to align with your door anchor first (Door 5 for North carriers, Door 1 for South carriers), then go up to that terminal’s Level 2 checkpoint entrance where the front of the standard line is established.
What fixed landmark does the standard (non-PreCheck) TSA line queue past when it overflows?
The standard (non-PreCheck) TSA line overflows past Hudson News and the Runway Bar & Grill anchors, with the exact bar name depending on which terminal half you’re using. These landmarks are the most reliable visual “length gauge” when the queue extends beyond the immediate checkpoint entrance.
| Terminal half | Overflow landmark sequence | Adjacent anchor point |
|---|---|---|
| North Terminal (Concourse B) | Hudson News, then Runway 14R Bar & Grill | Level 2 checkpoint entrance |
| South Terminal (Concourse A) | Hudson News, then Runway 18-36 Bar & Grill | Level 2 checkpoint entrance |
What is the exact walking distance from the ticketing counters to the TSA checkpoint entrance (front-of-line position)?
Walking distance is under 100 feet from the ticketing counters to the TSA checkpoint entrance in the current split configuration. The checkpoint sits essentially adjacent to the active ticketing hall in each terminal half, so the “front-of-line” position is reached in well under a minute.
In the North Terminal, go to North ticketing by Door 5 and face toward the Level 2 checkpoint entrance; the standard queue head is just beyond the counters within the same hall. In the South Terminal, do the same from South ticketing by Door 1, where the checkpoint entrance is positioned immediately next to the counters. If you find yourself walking toward the central construction area or looking for an interior cross-terminal connector, you’ve overshot the short internal path and should re-orient to the nearest end-door anchor.
What is the exact walking distance from the arrival gate corridor exit to the nearest baggage carousel (first carousel reached landside)?
Walking distance is approximately 150 to 300 feet from the arrival gate corridor exit to the nearest baggage carousel. The route is a direct descent from the sterile arrivals level to Level 1 baggage claim within the same terminal half, typically taking 2–3 minutes depending on crowding.
From the gate corridor exit on the North Terminal side (gates B11–B20), follow the standard “Baggage Claim” wayfinding to the North baggage claim area and you’ll reach the first carousel shortly after arriving landside. From the South Terminal side (gates A1–A10), take the equivalent descent to South baggage claim and the first carousel appears within the same short range. If you exit at the wrong end door (Door 1 vs Door 5) you’ll add a longer exterior median walk, so stay within your terminal half until after you reach baggage claim.
Where are the baggage claim carousels positioned relative to the garage-based pickup point using the shortest pedestrian connection?
Baggage claim sits one level inside the terminal halves, with the shortest pedestrian connection to garage pickup running out the end-door exits into South Garage Level 1 pickup lanes. From North baggage claim, Door 5 is the fastest exit to reach the garage; from South baggage claim, Door 1 is the fastest exit to reach the garage.
From North Terminal baggage claim, walk to Door 5, cross the Terminal Drive median at the nearest marked crosswalk, then enter South Garage Level 1 and follow “Passenger Pickup” to arrivals sections A1–A4. From South Terminal baggage claim, do the same via Door 1, crossing the median into South Garage Level 1 and then continuing to A1–A4 for arrivals pickup. If you’re heading to rideshare or taxis instead of private pickup, continue past the Level 1 pickup lanes and navigate to the far west end of the garage to Section D3 on the ground floor.
What is the precise pickup location for taxis during construction (exact curb/door/zone label)?
Taxi pickup is at Section D3 on the Ground Floor of the South Garage during construction. This is the same designated pickup zone used for rideshare (Uber/Lyft), positioned at the far west end of the garage structure.
From the terminal side, the reliable wayfinding is to exit baggage claim level via your terminal’s end door (Door 5 for North, Door 1 for South), follow signage for “Ride App/Taxi,” cross the median, and enter the South Garage. Continue to the ground-floor pickup area and confirm you are standing at the D3 marker before meeting your taxi, since central curb areas and the commercial lane are not taxi pickup zones during the Build OMA garage-based circulation phase.
What is the shortest walking path from baggage claim to the taxi pickup location during construction?
Walking takes about 3–6 minutes from baggage claim to the taxi pickup zone at South Garage Section D3 on the ground floor, depending on whether you exit from Door 1 or Door 5. The shortest path is to leave your baggage claim via the end-door anchor for your terminal half, then follow “Ride App/Taxi” signs into the garage and continue to the far west end.
From North baggage claim, exit at Door 5, cross the Terminal Drive median at the nearest marked crosswalk, enter the South Garage, then follow the internal pedestrian route to the ground floor pickup area and walk to the D3 section marker. From South baggage claim, exit at Door 1, cross the median, enter the South Garage, and continue the same way to the far west end to D3. Avoid the commercial lane stops near Doors 2 and 4, which are for shuttles and buses, not taxi pickup.
What is the precise pickup location for rideshare during construction (exact garage level/zone), verified by mapped signage labels?
Rideshare pickup is restricted to Section D3 on the Ground Floor of the South Garage during construction. The rideshare geofence locks pickups to that D3 zone, so requests placed from terminal curb areas or the commercial lane won’t match correctly.
From the North Terminal side, exit at Door 5 and follow the “Ride App/Taxi” wayfinding across the median into the South Garage, then continue to the ground-floor pickup area and walk to the far west end until you reach the D3 marker. From the South Terminal side, do the same via Door 1. If you find yourself at arrivals pickup sections A1–A4 on South Garage Level 1, you’re in the private-vehicle pickup lanes and still need to navigate to the ground-floor D3 rideshare zone.
Where is the checked-bag drop queue physically staged relative to the main entrance doors (exact anchor point/rope line start)?
The checked-bag drop queue starts at the stanchion line directly in front of the airline’s bag-drop counters inside your terminal half, immediately after you enter through the correct end-door. Door 5 feeds the North Terminal counters, and Door 1 feeds the South Terminal counters.
From Door 5, walk straight into the North ticketing hall and look for the first rope-line opening facing the Allegiant, Southwest, and United counter row; the queue runs parallel to those counters. From Door 1, walk straight into the South ticketing hall and use the first rope-line opening facing the Alaska, American, Delta, and Frontier counter row; the queue similarly runs parallel to the counters rather than back toward the exterior median. If you enter through a central door and don’t see stanchions aligned with your airline counters, re-orient to Door 1 or Door 5 before joining a line.
What is the exact walking distance from the most-used garage drop-off doors to the primary airline check-in counters?
Walking distance is approximately 300 feet from the South Garage Level 1 drop-off lanes to the primary airline check-in counters when you use the correct end-door anchor. From typical drop-off sections B1–C4, the walk generally takes 2–4 minutes once you exit the garage, cross the center median, and enter at Door 5 for North carriers or Door 1 for South carriers.
From the garage, use the nearest signed pedestrian exit from Level 1, cross at the marked crosswalk to the Terminal Drive median, then stay on the median-side sidewalk to your terminal door. After entering at Door 5 or Door 1, continue straight into the ticketing hall; the counter line begins immediately inside, and the check-in counters sit within a short interior span from the entrance rather than deeper toward the construction-split center.
