✈️ **FRIEDMAN MEMORIAL AIRPORT (SUN) HOLIDAY TRAVEL ALERT!** 🎄

Hey, SUN travelers! 🌞 As we soar into the holiday season, here are a few essential travel tips to ensure your journey is as smooth as a midnight sleigh ride! 🛷

  • IT’S BUSY. ARRIVE EARLY: The early bird catches the flight! For a stress-free start, arrive **2 hours before your flight**. Remember, our morning schedule is a busy bee with **four departures between 7 and 8:30 a.m.** Set those alarms! 
  • CURBSIDE CONGESTION: Our curbside seems to be THE PLACE to be if you’re traveling this season! Expect some hustle and bustle in the pick-up and drop-off areas. Plan a few extra minutes for those heartfelt hellos and goodbyes. 
  • TSA ALERT: ‘Tis the season for a bit more jingle in the security line! Expect longer screening times.
  • BAGGAGE CHECK CUT-OFF TIMES
    • – United: 45 minutes before
    • – Delta: 30 minutes before
    • – Alaska: 40 minutes before
  • PARKING LIMITATIONS: Just like a popular holiday party, our parking lot might be full! Make sure to plan your parking strategy like you would your holiday shopping – early and with a list!
