Nearly 80 million people are hitting the roads + skies this week for Thanksgiving. It’s the biggest travel week of the year, and this year is projected to be a record-setter.

If you’re making like a turkey and taking wing out of Derby City this week, we’ve created a guide that covers everything from gates to parking to food to rideshares at the Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport (SDF).

What to know

  • TSA | According to the SDF website, officials recommend arriving 1.5 hours prior to a domestic flight and 2 hours for flights to international destinations. Pro tip: Register for TSA pre-check and make the security lines a breeze.
  • Flight status | While we recommend staying updated via your respective airline, you can also check the airport’s dashboard for your flight status in a pinch.
