Do also keep your booking PNR handy to check flight confirmation online or with the airline directly. If your scheduled departure is not affected by the FAA&#8217;s planned 10% cut in flights, show up early at the airport to avoid missing the flight. Minimum 4 hours of buffer time for airport check-in and TSA security clearance is recommended given the airport staffing crisis induced by the government shutdown. FYI, some major US airports are sharing real-time updates on wait times through their websites and mobile apps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Avoid a tight connection in your itinerary<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your itinerary has a tight connection at a major US airport, rethink it given the current slowdown in the airport procedure. Rather, rebook an itinerary with a relaxed domestic to international or international to domestic connection in the US. For instance, if the Phoenix to Los Angeles\/San Francisco leg of your itinerary has a tight connection, consider taking a road trip to LAX or SFO Airport from Phoenix. Don\u2019t forget to keep the airline informed to avoid being marked \u2018No-Show\u2019 at Phoenix Airport.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Travel light with fewer bags\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may have got many dresses to pack in for an event in India, gifts for friends, etc. But Traveling with too many bags will amplify inconvenience for you given long queues and limited staffing at TSA checkpoints amid the government shutdown mayhem. If you are traveling with kids and\/or elderly family members this holiday season, it is wise to pack in only necessary things complying with the TSA guidelines for liquids and restricted items. At the same time, don\u2019t overlook airline-specific <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><a style=\"color: #ff6600;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indianeagle.com\/travelbeats\/airline-restrictions-power-banks-and-tsa-electronics-rules\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">restrictions for power banks and electronic items<\/a><\/span> on board.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Buy only refundable flight tickets\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>\u201cIf you have not yet booked your winter holiday trip for some or the other reason, make sure to buy last-minute flight tickets with refundable fares.

Compassion for and cooperation with them will let you navigate through the airport situation that may go further downhill in the coming days.
