My Drain lines are very slow and air gurgles from the traps. I have run a snake down every clean out and found no obstructions, I suspect my drain is air locked, how do I clear an air lock in a drain?

I suspect your vent is blocked not air lock in the drain. Rod the vent from the roof if it is safe to get up there this time of the year. Rod roof to basement floor and another 20'.
