“With the Thanksgiving holiday fast approaching, we want to remind travelers to take a little extra time getting to the airport and arrive 2 hours before your departure. We recommend you check with your airline to ensure your flight is on-time. Also, check the TSA’s website for information on what is allowed in carry-on and checked luggage. By taking a little extra time to follow these suggestions, we hope that you will find your travel to be stress-free and enjoyable,” stated Rick Piccolo, President, CEO of the Sarasota Bradenton International Airport.
