Spring Break for local school districts will bring increased travel demand to CLT this weekend for passengers using the security checkpoints and parking facilities.
The Airport’s airline partners are advising customers to arrive at the Airport at least three hours before their scheduled departure time from Friday, April 8 through Sunday, April 10.
CLT is expecting the following numbers for flyers who will begin their trip at Charlotte Douglas:
- Friday, April 8 – 32,110
- Saturday, April 9 – 28,630
- Sunday, April 10 – 32,960
On a normal day, the Airport averages 23,000 originating passengers. This is in addition to the 60,000 daily passengers who are also expected to connect through CLT Friday through Sunday.
To assist with the planning process, view estimated security wait times at each checkpoint, including Standard and TSA PreCheck® lines at cltairport.com or on the free mobile app (download at the App Store or on Google Play).
