Summer Travel is Heating Up

The Memorial Day holiday kicks off the summer travel season, and passenger traffic is increasing at TLH, nearing record numbers set in 2019. With lots of summer fun to be had, TLH will be buzzing with activity. For a smooth start to your next vacation, keep these travel tips in mind:

• Arrive early. Plan to arrive at the airport at least two hours prior to your scheduled departure time.
• Pack smart. Check TSA's Travel Tips and your airline’s baggage policy before heading to the airport.
• Be ready for security screening. Enhanced TSA screening equipment allows passengers to keep all electronics and travel-size liquids inside carry-on bags.

New Screening Process

Tallahassee International Airport has new machinery to make the security screening process even simpler. Below are some of the changes you will likely see upon your arrival.

Remove all loose items from pockets and place inside your Carry-On Bag.

Keep all electronics and liquids inside your Carry-On Bags. 3-1-1 liquid quantity rules still apply.

Make sure Carry-On Bags are completely zipped when put in a tray.

Carry-On Bags must fit into the trays in order to be screened.

Place light items and shoes at the bottom of the trays—heavier items on top.

TLH & United Service Update

Amid industry-wide challenges, SkyWest operating as United will discontinue service to various markets, including Tallahassee, after October 1. While the airline industry has been impacted globally by the pandemic, we continue to see the demand for air travel rebound locally and remain focused on expanding service options for our customers.
