WATCH: Lansing travelers report short airport security lines despite national delays
Lansing resident Brooke Wilner flew in from Orlando on Wednesday. With long lines and high frustrations reported all over the country, she said her experience at a busy travel destination was smooth.
“It was actually really good. Wait times were really quick and for it being spring break time, it was like 10 minutes,” Wilner said.
“I mean, it was busy, but nothing crazy,” Wilner said of the Orlando airport.
Natalie Haveman, from Grand Rapids, was flying from Lansing to Washington, D.C., on Wednesday.
"We’re about two and a half hours early today, which I feel like is semi typical. But we also did check the TSA wait lines before we left Grand Rapids,” Haveman said.
While there was no line at security at the Lansing airport on Wednesday, that is not the case everywhere. Haveman is already thinking ahead to her flight back home.
“We’re flying back on Sunday so we’ll see if things resolve by then,” Haveman said.
Even for those who do not experience travel impacts, Wilner says it is still important to be prepared.
“I would just keep an eye on the TSA lines on the airport’s website and get there early if you’re an anxious flyer,” Wilner said.
