FOR MEDIA: Christmas/New Years 2021-2022 Travel Update

MYR is preparing for a busy Holiday travel period. From Sunday (12/19) through Monday (1/3), there are 59,059 scheduled departing seats – an increase of 73% for the same period in 2020. 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:

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
Confirm entry requirements for your final destination with your airline; some destinations may require COVID testing or proof of vaccination
Wear a mask – masks are required once inside the airport and should remain on for the duration of your travel journey
Utilize @AskTSA for questions relating to the security screening process
