Families on the Fly Lane Eases Travel for Parents at SLC Airport
The TSA's 'Families on the Fly Lane' at SLC Airport helps families navigate security with ease.

Traveling during the holiday season can be particularly stressful for families with young children. To assist these families, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is promoting its 'Families on the Fly Lane' at Salt Lake City International Airport. This dedicated lane allows families extra time and space to navigate security, reducing the anxiety of holding up other passengers. The initiative aims to alleviate the pressure parents often feel in busy security lines. TSA regional spokesperson Jessica Mayle emphasized the importance of creating a more accommodating environment for families. The program is especially relevant as travel demand increases, with predictions indicating that the Friday before Christmas will be one of the busiest travel days in 2025. Families like Hailee Earl's, who recently traveled from Dallas, appreciate the benefits of this lane. Earl mentioned the challenges faced at other airports, where navigating security with strollers and car seats can be cumbersome. The 'Families on the Fly Lane' offers a more streamlined experience, enhancing the overall travel journey for parents. Hans Mai, a frequent user of the lane, also noted the convenience it provides for families, contributing positively to their travel experiences. He suggested practical tips for other families, including arriving early and bringing snacks to make the journey smoother. As the holiday travel season approaches, this initiative is expected to encourage more families to travel, making the airport experience less stressful for parents and children alike.
