FOR MEDIA: 2024 Holiday Travel Update

MYR is preparing for a busy Holiday travel period. From Sunday (12/22) through Thursday (1/2), there are 45,942 scheduled departing seats. As a reminder, scheduled seats are not definitive passenger counts, as the actual load factor of each departing aircraft will vary.  Travelers are encouraged to utilize the following tips for a stress-free travel experience:

Travelers are encouraged to utilize the following tips for a stress-free travel experience:

• • Arrive at least two (2) hours prior to your scheduled departure time.
  • Allow extra drive time to the airport for holiday traffic and parking.
  • Check the status of your flight prior to arriving at the airport.
  • Utilize @AskTSA or text ASK-TSA (275-872) for questions relating to the security screening process.  A virtual assistant is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.  AskTSA staff are available daily from 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. EST for more complicated questions.
  • Traveling with gifts?  Do not wrap them until you arrive at your destination, as TSA may be required to open gift wrapping to inspect items.
  • Watch for our P.E.T.S (Pups Easing Travel Stress) therapy dogs.  They’re available to help ease travel stress, and we strongly encourage pre-flight pup therapy!
