Alexandria, La (11/19/2025) – Alexandria International Airport releases important guidance as holiday travel increases nationwide.
The FAA recently lifted shutdown-related commercial flight restrictions, and airports now expect record passenger numbers. Therefore, AEX encourages travelers to plan ahead for a smoother trip.
AEX urges passengers to book early flights. Early departures usually offer better on-time performance. Travelers may also save money when flying on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, or New Year’s Day.
Passengers should check flight status often. Airline apps provide real-time alerts that help travelers adjust quickly when plans change.
AEX recommends arriving 1.5 to 2 hours early. This timeline helps with parking, check-in, and security screening. Airline counters stop accepting checked bags 45 minutes before departure, including at AEX.
Drivers should allow extra time when heading to the airport. Heavy traffic, construction, or weather issues may slow travel.
AEX also encourages packing essential items in carry-on bags. Medications and chargers should remain accessible if delays occur. Travelers can review TSA’s “What Can I Bring?” page for quicker screening.
Passengers should follow airlines and England Airpark/AEX on social media. These updates support better decision-making during busy periods.
Travelers can view the complete AEX press release and full list of holiday travel tips on AEX’s official website.
