Summer is one of the busiest travel seasons of the year at XNA. Whether you're heading to the beach, flying overseas, or visiting family, there’s one thing you need to know: the earlier you plan, the better your trip will be.
If you’re planning a June, July, or August trip, don’t wait to book. Flights fill up quickly. Book your trip early to get the best options. A few months in advance of your trip will give you plenty of time to plan, book, and ensure your travel experience makes the most sense for you. Happy planning!!
We recommend getting to the airport two hours before your scheduled departure. Summer mornings are busy at XNA, and lines for check-in and security move slower than usual when the terminal is full. Arriving early gives you time to park, drop bags, and grab a coffee without rushing.
Summer travel means sunscreen, vacation essentials, and sometimes overpacking. Remember: liquids over 3.4 ounces won’t make it through TSA. If you're checking bags, tag them clearly and double-check the weight limits—fees can sneak up fast on vacation packing. Remember that XNA has a luggage scale in the lobby for your convenience-use it before getting to the airline ticketing counters!
XNA’s nonstop routes are your best bet for stress-free summer trips. Whether you’re headed to the beach or the mountains, avoiding layovers keeps travel simple. Our nonstop flights to Denver, New York City, and Los Angeles are especially popular during the summer season—book early if you want in.
Airports across the country are seeing record travel numbers. Sometimes the weather doesn’t cooperate, or delays happen. Giving yourself extra time and staying calm can help keep your trip on track.
