CAK tips for happy holiday travel

It’s that time of year again! Thanksgiving, where stuffed birds won’t be only on the table, they’ll be in the air too! Of course, I’m talking about airplanes not migrating geese.

Thanksgiving weekend is one of the heaviest travel times of the year (which is one reason I love it so much). As a gentle reminder, it is also the time of “the occasional traveler.” I love ‘em, but remember that occasional travelers probably don’t know about the liquid and gel restrictions and will try to take an apple pie through screening.

What I’m getting at is this… if you are a more seasoned traveler, please have mercy on those who only come to CAK once every other year or so. Also, arrive at the airport a bit earlier than normal (say 1 ½ hours prior to your flight). Try printing your boarding pass before you arrive at the airport too, it’ll be just one less thing for you to do.

Also, don’t forget about our free Wi-Fi and massage chairs right in the terminal building. It'll help you forget about the person with three overpacked bags right in front of you in line. The airplane and bags may be stuffed, but at least you can feel a bit more relaxed before you board the plane. Happy holidays!

Happy New Years to my neighbors out at Akron/Canton. Continue the tremendous work you do at your airport. Most airports are jealous of how well you have grown in just a 10 year span, and will continue growing in the future. I have flown it 10+ times in the last couple years, and will continue using it.

Right now my coalition of Airport Supporters are trying to help out the struggling Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport. They have done a successful job with flights to Orlando aboard Allegiant Air (ALGT-Nasdaq), but they have not done much since then.

YNG needs to look at how well CAK has done over the years and perhaps take some tips from you guys. You run a very successful operation and should be commended for IT! You earn my award for the best airport in Ohio and the best operation of any government funded operation in the region.

GOOD LUCK IN 2007!
