Connecting
at OKC.
Yes, if you're arriving from another country. At OKC you go through passport control and customs, pick up your checked bags and drop them off again, then go back through TSA security before your next flight, even a domestic one. The exception is a flight where you already did US passport control before takeoff, such as from Canada, Ireland or Abu Dhabi. Between two US flights, you stay past security.

Counted in your time to spare
Every checkpoint on your connection becomes a step in the layover plan, so the time to spare already allows for the lines.
Plan it in LYVR
Your OKC layover, planned to the minute.
Save your flights and LYVR finds the connection at OKC on its own, then times every part of it. From four hours before takeoff, tap your boarding pass to see your plane on a live map.
Every minute, accounted for.
Deplaning, every walk through the terminal, the checkpoints your connection passes and when the doors close. What's left is yours to plan.
Lounges you can actually get into.
Add your cards and memberships once. With LYVR Pro, every lounge at OKC shows whether you're in, and the live queue where there is one.
Directions that know which floor you're on.
Step-by-step directions from your gate to your next one. They follow the real hallways, tell you when to take an escalator, when to hop on the train between terminals and where you'll go through security again. Your route is ready the moment you tap Start.
Time to see Oklahoma City?
Getting out, the ride each way, security on the way back and a cushion, checked against your passport. With LYVR Pro, a day in Oklahoma City, planned.
Layover questions
OKC, answered.
Do I have to go through security again on a connection at OKC?
Yes, if you're arriving from another country. At OKC you go through passport control and customs, pick up your checked bags and drop them off again, then go back through TSA security before your next flight, even a domestic one. The exception is a flight where you already did US passport control before takeoff, such as from Canada, Ireland or Abu Dhabi. Between two US flights, you stay past security.
Can I check the security wait time at OKC?
LYVR shows how long each security line is right now, terminal by terminal, updated every couple of minutes.
How much time do I need for a layover at OKC?
It depends on your terminals, whether you go through security or customs again, and how far apart the gates are. LYVR adds up deplaning, every walk through the terminal, any checkpoints your connection passes and the boarding door time, then shows exactly how much time you have to spare.
Is a 1 hour layover enough at OKC?
For a domestic connection on one ticket, usually yes. Arriving at OKC from another country, no: you clear passport control and customs, collect and recheck checked bags and go back through TSA security, so plan on 2.5 to 3 hours, unless you already did US passport control before takeoff. If a delay makes you miss a connection on one ticket, the airline rebooks you. LYVR works out your exact time to spare for your own two gates.
What is there to do on a layover at OKC?
With an hour or two, eat near your gate and walk the terminal. LYVR's Explore tab lists every restaurant, bar and shop near your gate with the walk time, so you only see what fits in your layover.
Can I leave the airport on a layover at OKC?
Yes, if you have time. Arriving from abroad, you've already been through US passport control and customs at OKC, so leaving only adds the trip into Oklahoma City and back and TSA security on the return. As a rule of thumb, it's worth it with about 4 hours on a domestic layover and 6 on an international one. LYVR checks the ride each way and how much time you'd really have in Oklahoma City.
