Holiday Travel Tips

• Book Early & Avoid Peak Days: Choose the earliest flight and try to fly on less popular travel days to minimize delays and crowds.
• Check Flight Status: Stay informed on any flight status changes by staying in touch with your airline or using their mobile app for real-time updates.
• Check Your Bags for Prohibited items: Avoid last-minute delays at security by double-checking that your carry-on doesn’t contain any prohibited items. Review the TSA list of restricted items before you pack.
• Plan for Parking or Rideshare: Parking areas at PBI fill up quickly during the holidays. Arrive early to secure a spot or consider using Lyft, Uber, taxis or Palm Tran buses for convenient transport to and from the airport.
• Secure Your Vehicle: Lock your car doors and avoid leaving valuables inside when parking to keep your belongings safe.
• Arrive Early: Two hours is recommended, as holiday travel often means longer wait times at check-in and security.
• Prepare for Longer TSA Lines: Holiday travelers should anticipate extended TSA lines and give themselves extra time to get through security.
• Consider Checking Luggage: Lighten your load by checking larger bags, making your airport experience smoother.
• Use Mobile Boarding Passes: Save time at check-in and reduce contact points using digital boarding passes where available.
• Dress Comfortably & Stay Hydrated: Dress in layers and bring a refillable water bottle to stay comfortable and hydrated throughout your journey.
• Check with your airline for delays or cancellations before heading to the airport.
