Travel expert Natalie Compton, joins The Ray Stevens Show to discuss the logistics and trends for Spring Break 2026. Natalie highlights that despite social media reports of long lines, travel is leveling out. However, she warns of potential delays at major hubs like Chicago O’Hare. She recommends the "TSA PreCheck Touchless ID" for faster processing, noting it's available for several major airlines at O'Hare including Alaska, American, Delta, Southwest, and United. For families seeking warmer weather, Florida, Mexico, and the Caribbean remain the dominant choices for the season.

 

Plan for wait times at least 20 minutes longer than usual at major airports. Natalie suggests bringing your own snacks to avoid high airport prices, like a "$40 mozzarella stick". Ensure you have your airline’s app downloaded and opt-in for touchless ID before checking in for your flight.
