Holiday Travel


With the holiday season in full swing, airlines remind all travelers to be prepared for extra airport congestion on peak travel days. Holiday travel peaks Dec. 19-23 and from Jan. 2-6. With that said, keep in mind the following tips:

Check your flight before leaving for the airport; there may be delays or even cancellations

Allow an extra hour to get through airport parking, check-in and security

Use the new check-in technology, such as Web site check-in or self-serve kiosks located near ticket counters

Carry-on luggage: Leave prohibited items at home or packed in checked luggage (Swiss Army knives, scissors, etc.)

Count carefully: one carry-on bag and one personal item such as a purse, briefcase, laptop or backpack are allowed on most airlines

Travel with unwrapped gifts to avoid being asked to unwrap them at airport security checkpoints

Be prepared to present photo identification before boarding a flight, regardless of the destination — without it, travel may be refused

Domestic travel requires photo identification and international travel requires a valid passport and any other documentation required to enter the country of destination, such as a visa
