Airports around the country, including Fresno Yosemite International are anticipating an increase in the number of travelers choosing to fly this holiday season. From December 16 through January 5, the Air Transport Association of America is estimating a three percent increase in passenger volume over the same period a year ago. In preparation for the peak holiday travel period, officials at FYI are encouraging local travelers to
remember a few simple tips to help make their flying experience a pleasant one.

• Arriving two hours prior to their flight departure provides travelers with plenty of time for airline check- in and the security screening process.

• Check with your airline on flight status prior to leaving for the Airport. Convenient flight status links are available on most airline websites or passengers may telephone the airline for flight status inquires.

• Passengers are encouraged to review the website of the airline which they are traveling for respective policies, baggage limitations and fees, customer service plans and automated flight alert notifications to cell phones or wireless devices.

• The white curb in front of the terminal is for drop-off only. A “free” Cell Phone Waiting Area is available for motorists waiting on arriving passengers.

• Travel with a current government-issued ID and have your boarding pass out and ready.

• Familiarize yourself with the list of TSA permitted and prohibited items at www.TSA.gov .

• Remove liquids and laptops from your carry-on baggage for security screening.

• Remember the 3-1-1 rule for traveling with liquids, gels and aerosols in carry-on baggage: 
   - 3-ounce bottles or less for all liquids, gels and aerosols; 
   - 1 quart-sized, clear, plastic zip-top bag; and
   - 1 bag per passenger placed separately in a security bin for X-ray screening.

• Keep an eye out for suspicious activity. Travelers should report all suspicious activities or items to airport security personnel.

• Remember TSA’s new Secure Flight program when booking new airline tickets. When booking airline tickets, use your name as it appears on the government ID you plan to use when traveling—along with your date of birth and gender.
Safety and security are top priorities for all airport personnel. Passengers can help ensure a smooth security process by following the TSA’s security procedures available at www.TSA.gov .
