LOOK FOR BIG CROWDS AND LONG LINES IF YOU PLAN TO FLY THIS SUMMER. AIR TRAVEL IS EXPECTED TO BE UP ALMOST FOUR PERCENT FROM LAST YEAR’S RECORD NUMBERS. HERE IN ALBUQUERQUE, SUNPORT SPOKESWOMAN STEPHANIE KITTS SAYS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS FOR TRAVELERS TO BE PREPARED AND KNOW THE RULES ABOUT THE CHECKPOINTS ON LIQUIDS, AND THE NEW RULES ON ELECTRONICS THAT MEAN PUTTING ANYTHING LARGER THAN A CELL PHONE IN ITS OWN BINS. KITTS SAYS THE T-S-A MAY ALSO ASK YOU TO REMOVE FOOD ITEMS FROM YOUR BAG.
THERE IS CONSTRUCTION GOING ON AT THE SUNPORT ON THE BAGGAGE CLAIM AND TICKETING LEVELS AND WILL CONTINUE ALL SUMMER…BUT KITTS SAYS IT SHOULDN’T INTERRUPT PASSENGER TRAFFIC.
