Family lanes, service animal relief areas, and sensory rooms are covered below.
Airline-provided service
Wheelchair assistance
Request wheelchair assistance through your airline at booking or at check-in. Superior Aircraft Services provides curbside-to-gate wheelchair and luggage assistance at MYR at no charge.
Tip: request at booking rather than at the airport — airline wheelchair assistants are in higher demand at peak times and early requests are filled first.
TSA Cares
Free security screening assistance
TSA Cares is a free helpline and on-site assistance program for travelers with disabilities, medical conditions, or other circumstances that may affect the security screening process.
How to use: Call 1-855-787-2227 at least 72 hours before travel. A Passenger Support Specialist will meet you at the MYR security checkpoint and guide you through screening at no charge.
A TSA Passenger Support Specialist can meet you at the checkpoint and guide you through screening. Call the TSA Cares helpline at 1-855-787-2227 at least 72 hours before travel, or submit a request at tsa.gov/travel/passenger-support — worth doing early since MYR is a smaller station with fewer specialists on rotation.
Security lanes
MYR does not have a permanently signed dedicated family lane at all checkpoints. Ask any TSA agent at the checkpoint for assistance — agents are trained to help travelers with special needs and can route you around standard queue lines.
Service animal relief areas
An outdoor relief area is in the grassy area outside Door 6 on the lower level near baggage claim. A second relief area is past security on the 2nd floor near Subway/Concourse B.
Note: service animals are permitted throughout all airport areas without restriction. Emotional support animals follow individual airline policies — check with your carrier before travel.
Quiet and sensory room
Quiet/sensory room available — The Quiet Room in the baggage claim area is open to any passenger with special needs who wants a calm space to de-stress during travel; ask at the Information Desk for access.
Wheelchair and mobility device rentals
MYR has no on-site wheelchair or mobility-device rental counter. Airline-arranged wheelchair assistance (via Superior Aircraft Services) covers in-terminal mobility at no charge, and most on-site rental car counters can provide hand-control-equipped vehicles with advance notice.
Motorized scooters and power wheelchairs are generally available from airlines for gate-to-gate use; contact your carrier directly if you need a motorized device beyond a standard transport chair.
Pro Tip
MYR's single checkpoint and compact, single-terminal layout make mobility assistance faster here than at big hub airports — request your wheelchair at booking, and if you need TSA Cares support, call at least 72 hours ahead since this is a smaller station.
