Spring to bring heavy traffic to AUS

Friday, March 7, 2025 by Elizabeth Pagano

Spring festival season is underway, and the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is bracing for more than 30,000 departing passengers on some days. Though the season will last through the end of the month, the busiest days are expected to be Sunday, March 9; Monday, March 10; Sunday, March 30; and Monday, March 31. To cope with the congestion, airport officials are advising that passengers arrive 2.5 hours before domestic travel and 3 hours before international departures, allowing additional time for checking baggage and returning rental cars. AUS staff will be on-site to help travelers on the busiest days, and travelers can also call 512-530-2242 for assistance. Additional information and travel tips for this time can be found here.
