Segment Run - TSA check?
Making my first one day segment run on Saturday. Question I have is do I have to go out of secure zone and come back in? I have about 2 hours when I land in STL before I head back. Do I have to go out and come back through TSA for any reason?

I check in on my phone, so no ticket needed. And obviously no luggage.

If you already have your mobile boarding pass, there is no requirement for your to recheck thru TSA. That would only be required if you left the secure air side.

Even if you don't have a boarding pass for the return flight, you still don't need to leave the secure area. Just go to the gate or Customer Service Center, show your reservation info, and they will print one for you.

Thanks all. I've made a couple runs in previous years, but I usually take my wife and make a mini vacation from it. Time just isn't on our side this year so I'm venturing out into my first "there and back".

Appreciate the input.

Also don't worry about telling the crew, or showing them your stack of ticket stubs - I found they are quite amused by it.
