  • More than 3 million travelers passed through airports across the United States on Sunday, marking the busiest day on record.

The article from Travel + Leisure discusses the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) expectations for a record-breaking number of travelers during the Thanksgiving holiday in 2024. The TSA anticipates screening over 30 million passengers from November 23 to November 27, with the peak day being November 27, when they expect to screen nearly 3 million passengers. This surge in travel is attributed to the continued recovery of the travel industry post-COVID-19, with people eager to reunite with family and friends. The TSA has been preparing for this increase by enhancing its workforce and technology to ensure efficient security checks. Travelers are advised to arrive early at the airport, check security wait times, and be aware of what items are allowed in carry-on luggage to facilitate smoother screening processes.
