IT’S BUSIER THIS YEAR FOR THE CHRISTMAS TRAVEL SEASON AT THE ALBUQUERQUE SUNPORT THAN IT WAS LAST YEAR. BUT SUNPORT OFFICIALS SAY THE BUSIEST DAY IS EXPECTED TO BE THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS. AND THEY ADVISE THAT YOU PLAN AHEAD TO TAKE SOME OF THE STING OUT OF THE SITUATION, THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS OR EVEN BEFORE THEN.
MAGGIE SANTIAGO WITH THE NEW MEXICO TSA TELLS KOB TV THEY’RE SEEING MORE INEXPERIENCED TRAVELERS AT CHRISTMAS TIME NOW … WHICH LIKELY MEANS A LONGER WAIT IN THOSE SECURITY LINES. SHE SAYS YOU NEED TO PLAN AHEAD BY TWO HOURS … AND DON’T CARRY WRAPPED PACKAGES WITH YOU BECAUSE YOU’LL JUST HAVE TO UNWRAP THEM FOR TSA AGENTS.
THE SUNPORT’S LESSENED CONSTRUCTION WORK TO HELP SPEED UP THE PROCESS AND HAVE ALSO ADDED MORE STAFF. YOU’LL ALSO NEED TO CHECK YOU FLIGHT STATUS … TWICE … ONLINE.
