If you’re turning to the sky, TSA expects airports to be screening a record number of passengers. Prices are playing a big role in the uptick of travelers this weekend. Booking data shows domestic flights are 2% cheaper than last year. International flights are also down 8%.
“When you consider New York City is the fourth most popular destination for the holiday, we have a lot of people leaving the area we have a lot of people coming to the area they mix in the afternoon and it gets very busy,” said Robert Sinclair Jr., senior manager of public affairs for AAA.
