LAFAYETTE, LA (November 25, 2024) – The Thanksgiving holiday is one of the busiest times of the year at Lafayette Regional Airport (LFT). We are here to help travelers have a smooth experience at our airport. Whether you are traveling to visit family or welcoming loved ones home, following these tips will make your journey as stress-free as possible:
- Check Your Airline: Arrive at the airport according to the airline’s recommendation. Remember airlines’ times can be different.
- Pack Smart: Avoid packing prohibited items in your carry-on. Use the TSA’s “What Can I Bring?” tool at www.TSA.gov to help pack correctly.
- Check Flight Status: Stay updated on your flight status by visiting www.lftairport.com or contacting your airline directly.
- Follow Terminal Guidelines: The area in front of the terminal is for pickup and drop-off only. Need to park? Enjoy 30 minutes of free parking in the short-term lot. For added convenience, wait in your vehicle in our Cell Phone Waiting Area, then drive right up to the terminal to pick up your party.
LFT’s website also offers tools like a real-time flight tracker and air traffic maps to help you plan your trip and monitor loved ones’ arrivals. For more information, visit www.lftairport.com or follow us on social media for updates.
