Holiday Parking Update
As you know, we have been a very busy airport this year. Based on TSA and airline projections, we are expecting a very busy holiday travel season this fall as well.
We want to make traveling as easy as possible for you, so we are making some improvements to our overflow parking lot during the holiday season. Click the button below to learn more!
Pensacola PUP Patrol: Meet "Breeze"
This is "Breeze," a Tibetan Spaniel. Breeze is a member of the Pensacola Pets Unstressing Passengers (PUP) Patrol!
Breeze sometimes goes by "Easy Breezy" because this little four-legged friend is so easygoing. You might see Breeze cruising around the airport on a skateboard (yes, this furbaby skates!) and Breeze loves getting petted.
Next time you're at PNS, look for Breeze and introduce yourself!
Festivals, Runs, and Fun this Fall!
Fall on the Gulf Coast is hard to beat. Between the wonderful weather, fun runs, and holiday festivals, there's no shortage of ways to enjoy this time of year. Check out some of these great events below!

Plan Ahead to Fly Easy
We know that getting you into and out of the airport as quickly as possible is important to helping you Fly Easy. You can help us make that happen.
Plan to Arrive Early During Holiday Travel
This fall we are expecting significant passenger numbers during the Holiday season, and TSA is recommending that you arrive two (2) hours early for your flight. Between parking, checking in, security screening, and getting to your gate, we want you to have plenty of time during this busy travel season.
As always, please check with your airline for the latest flight updates or information, and review the list of TSA-approved items for your carry-on luggage.
No Parking and Waiting In Front of the Terminal.
If you are picking up a passenger, please do not park in front of the terminal and wait for them. That creates traffic problems in front of the airport and makes it harder for other passengers to enter or exit the airport, too.
We recommend that if your passenger is not on the sidewalk waiting for you, circle the airport or park in one of the Economy lots for up to an hour at no charge, until your passenger is ready.
We know you have choices when you fly, and we do our best to make your experience with us a positive one. So we thank you for choosing to Fly Easy with PNS.
