Airport holiday travel: Arrive early, know rules, official advises

Bradley International Airport officials have issued a warning about what to expect in the very heavy travel period this week because of the holiday season.

Planning for it is essential, Connecticut Airport Authority Executive Director Kevin Dillon said.

“The key is to give yourself extra travel time and to plan ahead,” Dillon said. “Our dedicated airport team will do everything we can to make your travel through the airport as hassle-free as possible.”

Passengers traveling domestically are advised to allow themselves at least 90 minutes for check-in with their respective airlines and processing through the Transportation Security Administration screening checkpoints.
