City of Austin
Take the Stress Out of Labor Day Travel: Plan Ahead, Arrive Early, and Enjoy the Journey with AUS
AUSTIN, Texas – Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) expects a busy Labor Day travel period and asks passengers to arrive early and plan ahead for their trip. From Thursday, August 29 through Tuesday, September 3, AUS expects a surge of travelers heading into and out of Central Texas for the extended weekend. AUS has already experienced half of its top 10 busiest days this year, so passengers should prepare for a consistently busy airport and plan accordingly. Before taking to the skies this Labor Day, use the travel tips below for a smoother travel experience. Arrival time
- Travelers using TSA Pre-Check and Clear can expect a faster TSA experience.
Packing and TSA guidelines
- Notably, firearms are strictly prohibited at security checkpoints; use the TSA's guidelines for how to travel properly with a firearm and avoid a penalty.
Parking and dropping off
- ABIA Parking at AUS provides parking options in Economy Lots and the Blue and Red Garages, but spots fill up quickly, especially during holiday travel. Passengers can secure a spot in advance or check real-time parking availability before coming to the airport at ABIAParking.com .
- If you're getting dropped off at the airport, opt for the "Arrivals" area instead of “Departures” if traffic is backed up. Once you’re dropped off at Arrivals, head up one floor to Departures to proceed to the airline ticket counters and security screening.
AUS experiences
- AUS has a range of fun and unique experiences in the terminal including live music performances, art galleries, restaurants, retail shops including a bookstore and more. Visit the AUS website or use the airport’s digital map to help you find your way while at the airport.
AUS For All: ADA accommodations and accessibility
- TSA offers a passenger assistance program, TSA Cares , for travelers who may want more help during the security screening process at AUS. Contact TSA 72 hours before your trip.
- Arriving passengers with mobility assistive devices can be picked up by rideshares, taxis and Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles (WAVs) at the Mobility Assistance Zone, located on the lower Arrivals level.
- Mobility Trams are available to transport passengers from the garages and terminal to the rideshare pick-up area and Rental Car Facility.
- AUS’s Mobility Lounge is located by Checkpoint 2 East for departing passengers with mobility assistive devices or mobility limitations that need a place to rest or wait ahead of their flight.
- AUS participates in the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Program; passengers with hidden disabilities can request a lanyard ahead of their trip for additional support and time while at AUS.
- Passengers needing wheelchair assistance should contact their airline to coordinate this service.
For arriving passengers
- Travelers can reduce their wait time by using a mobile boarding pass and carry-on luggage only to bypass airline ticket counters.
- Mobility Trams are available to transport passengers from the terminal to the rideshare pick-up area and Rental Car Facility.
- ADA-compliant shuttles are available for passengers from the terminal to the Economy Lots.
