The Senate will again offer a "Turkey Shuttle" to Logan Airport this year to help students begin their Thanksgiving journeys.
Tickets for the bus cost $5 and are on sale at the information booth in the campus center and are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
The shuttle will make nine trips between the campus center and all five Logan terminals on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. The trip is scheduled to take one hour, depending on traffic.
Citing heightened security measures, including more stringent and time-consuming baggage checks, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and airlines are advising travelers to arrive at least two hours before domestic departures and three hours before international departures.
Since Sept. 11, airlines have banned knives of any kind, aerosol cans, athletic equipment that can be used as a weapon, and all cutting or piercing instruments from carry-on luggage. Travelers are also limited to one carry-on bag, plus a smaller item such as a handbag or laptop.
Only passengers with boarding passes will be permitted past security checkpoints.
FAA regulations also require adult travelers to show government-issued identification, in addition to the specific requirements of particular airlines. For more information, call your airline or visit www.faa.gov/apa/tipbroch.htm.
