Palm Springs Intl. Airport Urges Thanksgiving Travelers To Plan Ahead

PALM SPRINGS, CA — Palm Springs International Airport officials urged travelers to plan ahead and arrive early to catch their flights during Thanksgiving week, with one of its busiest days expected to be Wednesday.

"With Thanksgiving around the corner, Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) is committed to ensuring travelers have a seamless and stress-free experience during the bustling holiday period," PSP officials wrote in a statement.

More than 35,000 people are expected to depart from the airport during the travel period that began Tuesday and ends Sunday, according to airport officials. Some 7,000 people are expected to pass through the airport Wednesday and on Sunday, which are expected to be the busiest days.

With the approaching holiday, travelers were warned that parking options could become limited due to high demand, airport officials said. Travelers were urged to consider using a ride-sharing service to reach the airport to avoid parking.

Additionally, due to PSP undergoing a concessions refresh and ongoing construction, airport officials encouraged travelers to plan ahead for dining at the airport as some food and retail options will be affected. Grab-and-go food choices like a Half Moon Empanada Stand will be available for convenience.

Due to the holiday rush, travelers were encouraged to arrive at the airport at least two hours early.
