The holidays come with enough stress, so we’re providing stress-reducing travel tips + tricks to ensure your season is filled with holiday cheer instead of holiday fear. Here’s how to get prepared:

  • Arrive early: Get there two hours before your flight’s scheduled departure time.
  • Parking: For a budget-friendly and convenient parking option, park at SDF for only $8 per day. Pro tip: Use the Express Shuttle Lot, running from 4 a.m. until the day’s last arrival. Pre-book the Express shuttle lot online and get a special $5 per day rate. Don’t forget to check out SDF Rewards to score free parking.
  • Pack smart: Bring essentials like medication + extra clothes in a carry-on bag.
  • Breeze through security: See TSA’s tips to ensure all luggage is TSA-compliant (hint: don’t wrap your gifts).
