Airport officials want to remind anyone planning to park at the airport to arrive three hours before their flight.

Carpooling or using a rideshare service is highly encouraged to save time.

Due to the volume of arriving passengers, anyone picking up family or friends from the airport should use the cell lots when waiting and not park on the side of the road, and only come to the arrivals curb when their passengers have collected all of their bags and are waiting for pickup.
