TSA Expands Family Lanes Across Multiple US Airports to Ease Travel

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has expanded its 'Families on the Fly' program, introducing dedicated family lanes at multiple U.S. airports including John Wayne, Jacksonville International, Orlando International, Charleston International, Charlotte-Douglas, and Honolulu airports. These lanes are designed to ease the airport security process for families traveling with children 12 and under by providing wider lanes, deeper bins for car seats, officers trained to assist families, and features like lactation pods. The family lanes operate primarily during peak travel periods and aim to reduce stress and congestion by allowing families to move more efficiently through security. Additional perks include discounted TSA PreCheck fees and dedicated lanes for military families at some airports. TSA plans further expansion of this program to other airports, especially those near theme parks or military bases, while encouraging travelers to check availability via terminal screens or the TSA app. Overall, the initiative benefits both families and other travelers by enhancing efficiency and convenience during busy travel times.
