Jacksonville, FL – 20 November 2023 – In anticipation of a busy Thanksgiving holiday weekend for air travel, the Jacksonville Aviation Authority (JAA) advises passengers to arrive at Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) at least two hours prior to their departure time to find parking, check bags and navigate through security.
On peak travel days such as Wednesday, Nov. 22, Sunday, Nov. 26, and Monday, Nov. 27, airport officials expect more than 14,000 passengers will fly out of JAX. For this reason, passengers should anticipate longer lines and wait times and plan accordingly.
On-airport parking is also anticipated to reach full capacity on certain days, forcing closures of lots and garages. Any capacity closures of parking facilities will be posted in real-time on the JAX Airport website, the airport’s twitter handle (@JAXairport) and on Airport Road signage approaching JAX. A complimentary cell phone lot is located next to the JAA administration building on Pecan Park Road for individuals picking up inbound passengers. Travelers may want to consider parking utilizing parking off-airport parking businesses on Airport Road or utilizing alternative means of transportation to the airport.
A temporary third economy lot will open on Wednesday, Nov. 22 for a pre-paid flat $40 fee for the entire stay. This lot will be open on a first come, first served basis. Once at capacity it will remain closed through Thanksgiving weekend.
