Palm Springs Intl. Airport Releases Spring Break Travel Tips

PALM SPRINGS, CA — As spring break approaches, Palm Springs International Airport is gearing up for an increase in passengers. To ensure smoother travel, PSP officials have released a list of tips:

1. Early Arrival: All passengers should arrive to PSP at least 2 hours before their flight's departure time, regardless of whether they are checking baggage, carrying on, or using expedited services like CLEAR or TSA PreCheck. This leaves plenty of time to check bags, get through security, and arrive at the gate comfortably.

2. Peak Periods: The busiest times at PSP are expected to be from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Anticipate potential security wait times of more than 30 minutes during this peak period.

3. Parking Options: High demand for parking is anticipated. The main parking lots are available at $20 per day, while the overflow lot on Kirk Douglas Way is priced at $18 per day for travelers using credit cards. The overflow lot will open as necessary, and a short, free shuttle service to and from the terminal will become available. Signs along airport roadways will guide travelers to the overflow lot. See a parking map here.

4. Consider Alternative Transport: Ride-sharing services, taxis, or public transportation offer convenient ways to reach the airport. This can also save time and reduce parking demand.

5. Real-Time Updates: Stay informed on parking, security wait times, flight status, and more by visiting flyPSP.com before your trip.

6. Dining and Shopping: Ongoing construction continues to affect some food and retail options at PSP during our comprehensive concessions refresh. See what’s open here. Passengers are encouraged to plan ahead for dining options, with grab-and-go choices
readily available for convenience.

7. TSA Compliance: Familiarize yourself with TSA guidelines, including the 3-1-1 Rule for carry-on liquids, gels, and aerosols.
