Airport operations at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport have returned to normal following this month’s brief government shutdown, but officials expect heavy traffic as holiday travel ramps up after a record year.

What you should know: Travelers are encouraged to arrive early—2 1/2 hours before domestic flights and three hours for international—and to build in extra time if checking bags, returning rental cars or parking. Individuals can check real-time parking availability or reserve spots in the Blue Garage, Red Garage or Economy lots, though shuttles may see delays.

What else? Allegiant and Frontier passengers should remember that both airlines operate from the separate South Terminal. Flyers can speed up check-in by using mobile boarding passes, kiosks or curbside options. All three TSA checkpoints open at 3 a.m., with PreCheck, Clear and military lanes at Checkpoint 2 West.

On last thing: Travelers can access ADA shuttles, wheelchair assistance through airlines and TSA Cares. Construction tied to the Journey With AUS expansion continues, and an online map helps visitors navigate restaurants, gates and amenities.

The 48-story mixed-use Paseo tower is now open on Rainey Street, Austin-based LV Collective announced Nov. 20.

The details: Paseo includes 498 apartments, four penthouse units and a 59-room hotel in addition to the Daydreamer cafe and Amaya restaurant and bar opening in December.

Quote of note: “The delivery of Paseo represents more than the completion of a building – it's the realization of a vision for what experiential living on Rainey Street can be,” LV CEO David Kanne said in a statement.

What's next: Following Paseo's completion this fall, new bar and restaurant concepts will be opening near the high-rise in the near future. A former bungalow bar located on the project site was relocated prior to development, it and another historic building just south of the tower will house those spaces.

Downtown Austin’s dining options are expected to expand with a new restaurant concept by Sam Fox of Author & Edit Hospitality and artist Justin Timberlake in the works.

The details: The Twelve Thirty Club is moving into the historic space previously known as a former U.S. Post Office built between 1912 and 1914 designed by James Knox Taylor. In the 1960s, the building was gifted to the University of Texas at Austin and renamed for Lady Bird Johnson.

What to expect: The restaurant will be unfolded across four levels each with their own atmosphere. The first level will be the home to The Supper Club, an all-day destination or lunch, dinner and weekend brunch with live performances.

Guests will also be able to find the Speakeasy which will be located down a hidden staircase and open on late nights. The concept’s upper levels will be more exclusive with a private members club, a private lounge, members-only chef dinners, wine events, cocktail receptions and more.
