As the annual holiday trek begins, forecasts are predicting congested roads, crowded skies and a near-record number of travelers in Southern California
We may not be setting an all-time record for holiday travel this year, but it’s close, which means planning ahead for bumper-to-bumper freeway congestion or canceled flights amid unpredictable winter weather.
The San Diego airport, in the midst of a major Terminal 1 expansion, is issuing its usual warning to arrive extra early for flights; airlines are offering travel waivers ahead of major storms; and many Southern California travelers hoping to take the train will instead be driving because of the temporary closure of portions of the Pacific Surfliner’s popular coastal route.
“We’ve had the cumulative effect of gas prices and inflation but given all that, these numbers are still remarkably good,” said Auto Club spokeswoman Marie Montgomery. “There have been a couple of other holidays this year where the California or the national projection weren’t the highest, so we’re not necessarily out of the norm for 2022.
Depending on where you’re traveling, you may be forced to remain flexible as winter storms approach. CNN Travel is reporting that multiple major airlines are willing to offer travel waivers in instances where bad weather, especially in the Midwest, forces flight delays and cancellations. In such cases, change fees and penalties are waived as part of the rebooking of alternate flights.
On-airport parking is limited because of the closure of the Terminal 1 lot, so the airport is recommending that passengers reserve parking at Terminal 2 Parking Plaza or curbside valet as much in advance as possible atBetter yet, take a taxi, use a ride-sharing service, reserve a shuttle, or have a friend or family member take you to the airport.A Pacific Surfliner train travels along the collapsing bluffs in Del Mar in 2019.
