San Antonio International Airport expects 137,000 travelers through Dec. 1 and don’t expect any major disruptions.
SAN ANTONIO — One of the busiest travel stretches of the year is underway, and the San Antonio International Airport says it’s prepared for the Thanksgiving rush.
Between Monday and Dec. 1, airport officials estimate 137,000 travelers will pass through the terminals. The airport expects its busiest days to be Wednesday and Sunday.
As of Wednesday morning, no cancellations had been reported at San Antonio International Airport, according to FlightAware. Airport officials say they do not anticipate disruptions and expect operations to run smoothly.
To help ease the travel experience, the airport is reminding passengers of several tips:
- Reserve parking ahead of time in the garage or Economy Green Lot.
- Use the garage’s QR code system to link your license plate to your payment method and exit quickly.
- If you park in the garages, you can also check your bags at the tunnel connecting the short-term garage to the terminal.
Travelers arriving early Wednesday said they were prepared for crowds.
“We were just told it was the calm before the storm, so we were prepared to get here a couple of hours before our flight,” said Judge Rosie Speedlin Gonzalez. “We Uber’d because we’ve tried parking before and it takes forever to find a spot — like 45 minutes — so it’s a lot easier to take an Uber.”
The airport recommends arriving two hours before boarding, especially if you plan to valet or park on-site. Passengers are also encouraged to review TSA guidelines regarding liquids, food, and electronics to avoid delays at security checkpoints.
Before leaving home, officials urge travelers to check with their airline to confirm their flight status and ensure there are no delays or cancellations.
