Austin's airport now wants people to arrive three or more hours before departure. | KUTnathan
Because of understaffed airline counters and TSA lines, airport officials are advising people to show up three hours or more before departure.
That variation in how early people board before departing is what prompted the new guidance, ABIA says. With TSA lines back out the door this week, and the new guidance to arrive three hours or more before departure, Congressman Lloyd Doggett is urging the head of the TSA to send more agents to ABIA.to TSA Administrator David Pekoske that the TSA is"thoroughly unprepared" to process the large volumes of travelers that are expected over Memorial Day weekend.
"What we need most, as both the Airport Director and I have urged, is more TSA officers, but I believe you also need a specific contingency plan that may require treating passengers for heat stroke if substantial relief is not promptly provided," Doggett wrote.
