CASCADE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — Spring break travel period is here. It's also the busiest time of year at the Gerald R. Ford International Airport.
Due to the high number of travelers, the airport sent out reminders for passengers flying out during the end March through April. Not only could the high number of people impact security lines at the airport, it could also impact the space available in parking lots.
The Transportation Security Administration urges passengers to arrive at the airport at least two hours before departure time. Passengers are asked to consider what is packed in their checked luggage and carry-on bags to expedite the security screening process.
TSA recommends wearing shoes that are easy to remove, having identification and boarding passes ready to present at security checkpoints, removing all items from pockets, avoiding bedazzled and jeweled clothing, limiting heavy jewelry and ending all cellphone conversations before screening.
