The TSA advises travelers to come prepared by knowing what they can and cannot bring through security, considering new technologies like Credential Authentication Technology (CAT) and full-size Computed Tomography (CT) x-ray systems, and being aware that TSA officers may need to unwrap gifts for inspection. A record-breaking 7.5 million travelers are expected to fly over the end-of-year holidays.

"Austin Airport Prepares for Record-Breaking Travel Surge Post-ACL"

The Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is preparing for a potential record-breaking day on Monday, with over 35,000 people expected to depart following the Austin City Limits Music Festival. Travelers are advised to allow extra time due to possible highway congestion and can drop off guests at the lower-level curbside arrivals area if the upper-level departures curb is busy. Those not checking bags or flying internationally can use mobile boarding passes or kiosks instead of going to the airline ticket counters. New screening equipment eliminates the need to remove laptops, electronics, or liquids from carry-ons. Passengers traveling with Allegiant or Frontier should head to the South Terminal via U.S. Hwy. 183 to Burleson Road.
