TSA Launches Family Lanes, Cuts Security Waits Orlando, Charlotte

Charleston International Airport has launched a redesigned website featuring real-time TSA wait times, parking availability across multiple lots, flight updates, and interactive terminal maps to enhance traveler convenience and reduce stress. This digital upgrade aims to streamline the airport experience, especially during peak travel periods, by allowing passengers to better plan their arrival and navigate the airport. Meanwhile, the TSA has introduced a new program called Families on the Fly at select airports including Orlando International and Charlotte-Douglas, offering dedicated security lanes for families with children aged 12 and under. This initiative is designed to reduce stress for parents managing young children and to ease congestion for other travelers, with plans to expand to additional airports such as Charleston and Jacksonville. Parents have praised the program for making security checkpoints more manageable when traveling with children and bulky items. Together, these improvements reflect broader efforts to modernize and improve hospitality at airports amid rising travel demand.
