San José, Calif. – San José Mineta International Airport (SJC) is preparing for a busy Memorial Day holiday weekend. The Memorial Day holiday travel period extends from Thursday, May 23, through the following weekend to Friday, May 31. During this time, according to the information provided by the airlines operating at SJC, there will be 376,358 seats available for both arriving and departing flights.

“As travelers get ready to set flight this Memorial Day holiday weekend, the simple conveniences of SJC will allow passengers to have an stress-free and enjoyable travel experience. We welcome passengers from all over the world to the nation’s 12th largest city and look forward to providing travelers with the exceptional customer experience SJC is known for,” said San José City Manager Jennifer Maguire.

”It’s great to see the summer travel season starting strong,” said SJC Director of Aviation Mookie Patel.“We encourage everyone to take advantage of all the amenities available at SJC, including online check-in and parking reservations, expedite security or accessible services.”

In order for their vacation to start right from the Airport, passengers choosing SJC during the busy Memorial Day travel period are advised to:

Plan Ahead for Parking and Upgrade the Experience with Future Wash
Travelers can reserve and pay for parking online, as well as book a waterless car wash in the Airport's Hourly, Daily and Economy parking lots. Given the high demand during peak periods, parking reservations are strongly recommended. For parking inquiries, SJC's parking services team is available at (408) 441-5570.

Check-In
To streamline the check-in process during peak travel times, online check-in is recommended up to 24 hours before departure. Most airlines allow customers to pay for checked baggage in advance online, which speeds up the process at the ticket counter. Travelers with only carry-on luggage can skip the ticket counter entirely with online check-in.

Arrive Early and Pack Smart
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) advises travelers to arrive at least two hours before domestic flights and three hours prior to international flights, and to familiarize themselves with TSA’s travel tips.

Speed Up Security with TSA Precheck and/or CLEAR
To expedite security clearance, travelers can enroll in TSA Precheck and/or CLEAR, available at both SJC Terminals and other airports nationwide.

See Accessible Services and TSA Cares
Passengers in need of additional help navigating through the Airport are encouraged to check the list of SJC Accessible Services and the TSA Cares program, and select the one that best suits their needs.

Use Cellphone Waiting Areas or Park for Airport Pickups
For airport pickups, SJC advises using Cellphone Waiting Areas or parking in the nearest hourly lot, as waiting at terminal curbs is strictly prohibited to maintain traffic flow.

Celebrate with us!
Passengers are invited to join the celebration of the Airport’s 75th Anniversary with fun decorations and enter the "Pic with a Baby Chick” Sweepstakes.
