From Thanksgiving week to the first weekend of January, Vice City International expects about 40% more passengers than in an ordinary week. Seats on Wednesday, November 25, and Sunday, November 29, are selling fastest, on the Leonida Air flights from Terminal D as on the Liberty City flights from Terminal E.
The busiest days
- Wednesday, November 25, and Sunday, November 29, for Thanksgiving
- Friday, December 18, to Wednesday, December 23, before the holidays
- Saturday, January 2, and Sunday, January 3, on the way home
Book your seat now and keep your boarding pass in My Leonida. Delays and gate changes appear on the departures board as soon as the airport knows, and every booked passenger hears about them directly.
Security
Add half an hour to the usual times: be at the counter an hour and a half before a flight inside Leonida, and two and a half hours before a flight to Liberty City. Counters still close 45 minutes before departure, whatever the line looks like.
- Wrap your gifts after the flight: wrapped packages may have to be opened at screening
- A pie is a solid and can fly in your cabin bag; gravy and sauces are liquids and follow the 3.4-ounce rule
- Lighters and anything that looks like a weapon, toys included, stay at home
Getting here and parking
On the busiest days, the garages of Terminals D and E are full by 8 a.m. The economy lot, at $15 a day, has a free shuttle to both terminals. Better still, the Metro rail link runs from Downtown Vice City to Terminal D every 10 minutes, from 5 a.m. to midnight. The curb is for dropping off, not for waiting.
Most holiday stress at an airport happens before the security line: in the garage, at the curb, at the counter. Come early, come by Metro, and leave the rest to us.
