Parking Update and Holiday Travel Tips

Mineta San José International Airport


San José, CA ---- There’s good news for holiday travelers planning on using Norman Y. Mineta San José International Airport during the busy Christmas-New Years holiday travel period (December 20 through January 2). Parking should be available in both the convenient on-Airport Long-term and Short-term parking lots. The following holiday travel tips will help make your trip a little easier getting to and through the Airport:

  • Arrive early – Travelers should plan on arriving at the Airport terminals approximately 90 minutes prior to departure.
  • Check the Airport parking information line at (408) 293-6788 – For the latest information on Airport parking, call the Airport parking information line. On-Airport Long-term and Short-term parking is expected to be available.
  • Wrap gifts when you get there – Travelers should wrap their gift packages upon arrival at their destination, or ship the packages in advance. Wrapped gifts in both checked and carry-on baggage may be opened if further inspection is required.
  • Carry Your Film – Don’t Pack It. Travelers should carry all film in their carry-on baggage. Equipment used to screen checked baggage will damage undeveloped film.
  • Dress the Part. Travelers can speed up their trip through the passenger security
    checkpoint by avoiding certain clothing and accessories that may set off the metal detector alarm.
  • Don’t forget to check the latest list of permitted and prohibited items and other
    security tips at www.TSATravelTips.us.
