Charlotte Douglas International Airport is gearing up for one of the busiest travel weekends of the year as the summer travel season officially kicks off with Memorial Day.
Airport officials anticipate nearly one million passengers to pass through the terminal between Thursday and Tuesday, despite a projected 7% decrease in volume compared to last year. Thursday and Friday are expected to be the busiest travel days.
To help ease congestion and streamline the travel experience, the airport is encouraging passengers to plan ahead. Travelers can reserve parking in advance through parkCLT.com or by using the Charlotte Douglas Airport app.
Officials remind passengers to arrive early, allow extra time for security screening, and stay updated on flight information amid the high travel volume.
