Those flying out of Tulsa International Airport will find several new enhancements for the guest experience. 

 Officials with the airport say both concourses now have sensory rooms, quiet rooms, lactation rooms, indoor pet relief areas and family restrooms in the lower level of the terminal. 

Additionally, CLEAR members can now use their benefits after a new lane at the TSA checkpoint has been opened. Tulsa International Airport has also launched a visitor's pass program that will allow people who do not have an airline ticket to go through the security checkpoint to accompany ticketed passengers all the way to the gates.

• Sensory Room – The sensory rooms were designed for younger passengers with autism and sensory issues in mind. The furniture includes different ottoman shapes and beanbag chairs that can be rearranged. The airport provides fidget spinners for kids to help them release nervous energy.
• Quiet Room – The quiet rooms are the perfect place for people with dementia, PTSD or anxiety to take a break if they tend to become overwhelmed by stimulating environments. The quiet rooms have dimmable lighting and relaxing décor. Fidget mats, which are handmade by Airport Ambassadors, are also available for passengers with dementia. Using a fidget mat is calming for many people with dementia.
• Lactation Room – Mothers who need to breastfeed their children or pump while traveling or working can utilize these private rooms. The rooms are equipped with comfortable furniture, outlets for breast pumps, a changing table and a sink.
• Indoor Service Animal and Pet Relief Area – Indoor and outdoor pet relief areas allow passengers to take care of their furry friends while traveling. The new indoor pet relief areas have faux grass, pet waste disposable bags, hand sanitizer, sink and paper towels for users.
• Family Restroom – The new lower-level family restrooms have both standard changing tables and adult changing tables, which are essential since many adults with intellectual or physical disabilities cannot utilize standard toilets. When adult changing tables are not available, many caretakers are forced to lay someone on the floor to assist them.
• Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Lanyard Program: Passengers who may need extra assistance while traveling can wear a Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Lanyard. Wearing a Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Lanyard is a discrete way to notify airport personnel that you may need additional time, patience or assistance. Lanyards are available in the airport lobby in room A-211 or by sending an e-mail to taaweb@tulsaairports.com.
• TSA Cares: TSA has established a dedicated helpline to assist passengers with disabilities and medical conditions. Passengers can call the TSA Cares Helpline 72 hours before traveling to help plan for their trip at (855) 787-2227. TSA is happy to answer any questions or address any concerns regarding the security checkpoint.
• Parking options: Passengers who count on being able to park as close as possible to the terminal and are permitted to park in reserved accessible parking spots have several options at Tulsa International Airport. The airport also has a shuttle with a wheelchair lift for those who park in the Economy Lot. Passengers can let any shuttle driver know they need a wheelchair lift after they park, or they can call our parking operator at 918-838-5466 to make arrangements in advance.
• Clear, the secure identity company, recently launched a new lane at Tulsa International Airport in late July. The dedicated lanes allow members to verify their identity with their eyes or fingerprints, eliminating the need to pull out their wallet and driver's license. Once verified, a CLEAR employee guides members through the dedicated lane and straight to TSA, saving them valuable time waiting in line at the security checkpoint. The launch of CLEAR at TUL is expected to create 25 jobs and generate an estimated $1.2 million in local economic impact annually.
• Visitor's Pass: The airport recently launched the new TUL Visitor Pass program, allowing the non-traveling public to secure an online visitor pass that grants access to the post-security side of the terminal. To obtain a free TUL Visitor Pass, individuals can visit www.flytulsa.com/tulvisitorpass and complete the simple and secure online application up to seven days in advance of use. If approved, visitors will receive the TUL Visitor pass via email, which they will use in conjunction with a TSA approved ID, to proceed through the checkpoint.
