(Radio Iowa) – Despite pleas from state officials to stay home for the holidays, airports in Iowa and across the country are filling up as Christmas Day nears. Kyle Potter, executive editor of the ThriftyTraveler-dot-com, says while Iowa doesn’t have any restrictions for people traveling into or out of our state, if you’re planning to fly to another part of the country, it’s best to do your research before you leave.

The federal COVID relief bill that’s on President Trump’s desk includes 15 billion-dollars for the airline industry. Potter says that money is tailored toward bringing 30-thousand workers back to their jobs through March.
