“This year, we’re expecting 22 million people to fly out of the airport, which is double what the airport served when we first opened,” said Sam Haynes, public information officer for AUS.
"It’s crazy. Glad we’re here three and a half hours early," said Lauri Metcalf of San Antonio, who’s traveling to Scotland with her husband, Steve."This year, we’re expecting 22 million people to fly out of the airport, which is double what the airport served when we first opened," said Sam Haynes, public information officer for AUS.
"Once you got parked, it was hard to get out. People are not very friendly in Texas," said Pia O’Hare, who drove her family to the airport. Despite these headaches, AUS saw only a handful of flight delays and cancellations Monday evening, on the heels of more than 5,000 canceled flights across the country over the holiday weekend.Heading into summer, airport officials recommend arriving two and a half hours before boarding for domestic flights, three hours for international, unless you have TSA Pre-Check.
"Make sure that you have enough time in case our TSA partners or airline partners end up having an unplanned staffing shortage," said Haynes. To speed things up, consider checking in online, check with your airline before you leave to make sure your flight is on time, check the TSA website
