With Spring Break on the horizon, Houston Airports are gearing up for what is anticipated to be the busiest travel period on record, surpassing last year’s totals by 8%. Forecasts predict a staggering 2.1 million passengers, signaling a significant uptick in holiday travel through Hobby Airport and Bush Airport.
Preparations are underway to accommodate the influx of travelers, with Hobby Airport poised to welcome nearly 540,000 passengers, while Bush Airport anticipates hosting close to 1.8 million passengers. Jim Szczesniak, Director of Aviation for Houston Airports, assured the public of the airports’ readiness to handle the heightened crowds.
“Houston Airports is ready for increased crowds,” stated Szczesniak. “From ensuring traffic flows smoothly to fully staffing operations and supporting additional Houston police officers, our team is committed to providing a 5-Star experience for every guest.”
In light of the expected surge in travelers, Houston Airports urge passengers to plan and prepare adequately for their journey. World-class amenities such as playgrounds, restaurants, shops, and pet relief stations await travelers, providing opportunities for relaxation and enjoyment amidst the hustle and bustle of travel.
For passengers flying out of Bush Airport, navigating construction projects remains a key consideration. A new international terminal and transformation of Terminal B are underway, with efforts prioritized to minimize traffic impacts during the Spring Break period.
Travelers are advised to follow recommendations to streamline their airport experience, including adhering to TSA screening guidelines, monitoring wait times, and reserving parking online to ensure convenience and accessibility.
As Houston Airports brace for the busiest Spring Break on record, travelers are encouraged to plan ahead, arrive early, and make the most of the amenities and services available to enhance their travel experience.
