Holiday Travel | Why #FlyLansing
Our LAN team is fully prepared to get travelers to their destinations safely and efficiently this holiday season and beyond. Following a few simple tips can help ensure a stress-free holiday travel experience:
📱 Check your flight status
Before you leave for the airport, stay informed of flight changes, delays, or cancellations by checking your airline’s website or app.
Arrive early
Airport security screening lines are fast at LAN, but during peak periods, travelers should arrive at least 90 minutes before their flight. Ticket counters at LAN are staffed two hours prior to departure.
Passengers should also be aware of airline cut-off times for checking in with checked bags:
American Airlines – 45 minutes prior to departure
Breeze Airways – 45 minutes prior to departure
Delta Air Lines – 45 minutes prior to departure
✈️ Stay flexible
Weather and high travel volumes can affect schedules, so allow extra time for connections when booking your flights.
🧴 Follow the 3-1-1 rule
Passengers are allowed 3-oz bottles or less for all liquids, gels, and aerosols, placed in a quart-size clear plastic zip-top bag (one bag per passenger). Larger quantities of liquids may be packed in checked baggage.
👕 Dress smart
Wear comfortable clothing and wear light layers. Be prepared to remove coats, jackets, belts, and jewelry before screening. Avoid clothes with a high metal content and put heavy jewelry on after you go through security.
