The Transportation Security Administration is warning travelers that this Labor Day weekend will be one for the record books. As a result, travelers should budget extra time for security and everything else that comes with air travel.
With 17.4 million people expected to fly over the holiday weekend โ Thursday, Aug. 28, through Wednesday, Sept. 3 โ this will likely be the busiest Labor Day travel period on record, according to the TSA.
The weather is expected to be mixed, with rainstorms and some thunderstorms possible for parts of the country, especially the southern United States. Be sure to keep an eye on the weather at the airports at your departure and arrival points in case storms shut down airport runways or cause canceled flights.
