ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Families traveling with young children can now find some relief at select airports across the country. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has introduced special family lanes designed to help parents with children under 12 navigate airport security.
“Families are now going to have the option to go through a special designated lane at airports where they will have assistance from TSA officers to handle all of those things they’re carrying,” said Executive Editor for Baby Center, Melissa Bykofsky.
These family lanes offer a more accessible and potentially quicker experience for travelers.
“Family lanes are an opportunity to get a little more accessibility and possibly a little shortcut. I’ve heard from families that they’ve had really quick five-minute check-ins,” Bykofsky continued.
News10NBC’s Deanna Dewberry ran into a mom with her little one at the airport on Tuesday.
Petra, a 1-year-old world traveler, and her mom are among those who welcome the change. Petra’s mom said, “I think that will be extremely helpful. Hopefully it will help getting my pumps and breast milk through.”
The TSA waives liquid limits for breast milk, formula, and puree pouches. In family lanes, screening these liquids should be easier.
“These agents are definitely going to be educated and especially now with all the new forms of breast pumps,” said Bykofsky.
TSA agents in family lanes receive training in hospitality, adding a friendly touch to the travel experience.
“From what I’m hearing, trained in hospitality, which is really interesting. So they’ll just be a little more smiles, a little more friendly,” Bykofsky explained.
Family lanes are currently available at the following 11 airports:
