CLARIFICATION ON FEDERAL MASK POLICY IN AIRPORTS AND ON AIRPLANES – Although Lewis & Clark County removed the mask mandate, a Presidential Executive Order still exists requiring everyone to wear a mask or cloth face covering at all times while in airport terminal buildings across the nation. In addition, the Presidential Order requires wearing of face masks while on board all commercial airline flights and while going through TSA screening checkpoints.

The airlines have adopted very stringent policies for check-in times.

Each airline has it’s own specific check-in time frames, which can be viewed here:
