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
