This April Fool’s Day joke was so popular last year, we decided to bring it back again! While stocking the stream is a joke, we weren’t joking when we said that the airport will be busy this summer.
With more airlines, new flights, 30+ nonstop destinations, and larger aircraft serving our market, we’re anticipating this summer will be our busiest yet. If you’re planning to travel soon, here are a few tips:
- Arrive to the airport TWO hours before your flight.
- When planning your airport parking, check the flyknoxville.com homepage for real-time parking lot occupancy.
- By May 7, 2025, make sure that you have a REAL ID or another approved Federally-issued ID (passport) to travel within the U.S.
- During peak travel times, there could be a long wait at the TSA Security Checkpoint. Check tsa.gov for a list of prohibited items and to make sure your luggage will fit through the new security screening machines. (If you find that your bag will not fit through the checkpoint, do not abandon your luggage at the airport.)
- If you are picking up someone from the airport, expect more traffic too. Utilize our free Phone & Wait lot instead of circling the property or waiting on the curb.
