WE HAVE A CREW HEADED TO THAT SCENE, BUT BRACING FOR THANKSGIVING TRAVELERS LINES ARE STARTING TO BUILD AT AIRPORTS AND CARS ARE STARTING TO HIT THE ROAD. AND TRIPLE AA PREDICTS THAT THIS WILL BE ONE OF THE BUSIEST TRAVEL WEEKS IN THE PAST TWO DECADES. AT SACRAMENTO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. TRAVEL IS EXPECTED TO RETRIEVE AND SURPASS PRE-PANDEMIC LEVELS FOR THE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY. AND THAT’S WHERE KCRA 3’S LYSEE MITRI JOINS US LIVE. SO, LIZZIE, JUST HOW BUSY COULD IT GET IN ANY POINTERS FOR TRAVELERS THIS YEAR? YES, WE DEFINITELY HAVE SOME TIPS COMING UP. IT’S STILL A LITTLE EARLY, SO YOU CAN SEE THE AIRPORT HERE IS A LITTLE QUIET, NOT NOT TOO CRAZY QUITE YET. BUT THEN IF WE ALSO SHOW YOU THE BOARD, YOU CAN TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT THE FLIHT TIMES ARE LOOKING UP, LOOKING LIKE RIGHT NOW. A FEW DELAYS, SEVERAL FLIGHTS ON TIME. IT’S REALLY COMING UP ON SUNDAY THAT THE AIRPORT IS EXPECTING THINGS TO PICK UP. AND THEY SAY THEY’VE GOT ALL HANDS ON DECK TO PREPARE FOR THAT BUSY HOLIDAY TRAVEL. AIRPORT TRAVEL CAN BE EXCITING OR IT CAN BE STRESSFUL. I DON’T THINK IT’S HOURS. ONE THING’S FOR SURE, THOUGH, IT WILL BE BUSY VERY SOON HERE AT THE SACRAMENTO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT FOR THANKSGIVING AT TIME. DEBBIE GRIFFIN AVOID IT WHEN BOOKING HER FLIGHTS. I DID BECAUSE FROM TODAY TO TOMORROW, THE FLIGHT PRICES WENT WAY UP. SO WE HAD TO COME HOME EARLIER THAN WE WANTED TO BECAUSE OF THE COST AND EARLIER RIVAL FOR THEM AND AN EARLY DEPARTURE FOR SHEILA KISH AND HER FAMILY. WE’RE TRYING TO TRAVEL THE WEEK BEFORE THE CRAZY WEEK OF THANKSGIVING TO AVOID THE CRAZINESS OF THE AIRPORTS, ESPECIALLY NOW THAT SHE’S TRAVELING WITH A LITTLE ONE. HE’S TWO WEEKS OLD. HIS NAME IS NOBLE. THE SACRAMENTO AIRPORT EXPECTS TO SEE AS MANY OR MORE TRAVELERS THAN BEFORE THE PANDEMIC. WE ALSO ARE NOTICING PEOPLE THIS YEAR ARE EXTENDING THEIR TRIPS A LITTLE BIT. SO WHEN BEFORE THEY MIGHT HAVE STARTED TRAVELING ON TUESDAY FOR THANKSGIVING. NOW WE’RE SEEING ALL THOSE PEOPLE COMING IN STARTING ON SUNDAY TO MAKE SURE THINGS GO SMOOTHLY. ANDREA SANDOVAL WITH CMF SUGGESTS EITHER GETTING DROPPED OFF AT THE AIRPORT OR SHOWING UP EARLY FOR PARKING. SO TAKING THE TIME TO FIND A SPOT AS WELL AS THEN HAVING TO TAKE A SHUTTLE, THAT’S WHERE WE’RE TELLING PEOPLE TO COME. TWO AND A HALF HOURS EARLY. THEY CAN ALSO CHECK ON PARKING ONLINE AT FLY SMITH AECOM. IF YOU SCROLL DOWN, THERE’S A REALLY COOL WIDGET THAT SHOWS PARKING AVAILABILITY AND IT’S UPDATED EVERY 5 MINUTES. SHE DOES EXPECT LOTS TO FILL UP, BUT TYPICALLY WHEN IT GETS REALLY BUSY AT THE AIRPORT, THE FIRST ONE TO CLOSE IS GOING TO BE THE GARAGE AND THEN THE DAILY AND THEN THE HOURLY AND THEN THE ECONOMY. LOTS. THE AIRPORT SAYS THEY DON’T EXPECT LONG WAIT TIMES TO GET THROUGH SECURITY, BUT YOU CAN ALSO CHECK THAT AHEAD OF TIME WITH AN APP ON YOUR PHONE CALLED THE MY TSA APP. LIVE IN SACRAMENTO, LIZ AMY, TREAT KCRA
