Halloween

Happy Halloween, however you’re traveling

Holidays

As a kid, traversing streets filled with the promise of candy while wearing a costume that may or may not be comfortable or warm enough is the big travel concern on Halloween.

As an adult, the Halloween travel challenge could simply be getting from here to there.

If you’re traveling by plane today, you’ll find airports decorated for Halloween, with many staff members dressed in costumes. Trick-or-treating and Halloween parades are scheduled at some airports and candy will abound.

TSA has some tips for kids and adults who travel on Halloween.

For example, wearing your costume to the airport is OK, but don’t wear face paint or any sort of mask at the checkpoint.

Candy of all sizes is allowed through airport security checkpoints.

You can bring fake blood, but only 3.4 ounces or less. And it must be packed in your quart-sized bag of potions and lotions.

Fake (or real) hatchets, pitchforks, brooms and light sabers? They won’t make it through the checkpoint, so pack them in your suitcase or leave them at home.

Wherever you are, just keep in mind that you “auto” have a Happy Halloween.

Trick or Treat at these airports

Holidays,


San José Mineta International Airport (SJC) is going all out for Halloween this year with “fang-tastic” treats in the terminals on Halloween.

The SJC Happy Tails Therapy Animals will be roaming the terminals in their cutest costumes and lining up for a series of parades throughout the day. Here’s the schedule of parade times and locations.

There will also be trick-or-treating throughout the terminals with special SJC trick-or-treat bags before flights (while they last) at all shopping and dining locations.

And there will be special characters in dinosaur, panda and butterfly costumes handing out dining vouchers to lucky Halloween travelers.
