If you are leaving your apartment in Roanoke, VA this holiday season to fly out to visit loved ones, be sure that you arrive to the airport early.
You could run into some trouble if you plan on flying out of Roanoke Regional Airport for the holidays.
Several flights over the next week have been overbooked, which means if you don't get to the airport early, you could find yourself left off your flight.
A sure sign the Thanksgiving travel season is upon us is when Roanoke Regional Airport starts filling up with college kids anxious to get on a plane home.
"Get to the airport at least two hours in advance. If you get here 30 minutes or less before your flight, you are not going to make your flight," said Amanda DeHaven with Roanoke Regional.
The airport also recommends you pay for your baggage charges and print your boarding pass from home.
One of the biggest things you can do is travel light and make sure that what you bring can be brought on board.
As for carryon luggage, remember you can just bring two bags with you: A purse or a laptop plus just one bag that needs to fit in the overhead compartment. Everything else must be checked, which will cost you time and money.
