DELAWARE — The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is preparing for what could be the busiest Labor Day weekend in history, with an anticipated surge in passenger volumes at airport checkpoints.
The TSA forecasts that approximately 17 million travelers will be screened between August 29 and the middle of the following week. The peak day is projected to be August 30, when nearly three million passengers are expected to pass through TSA checkpoints nationwide.
To accommodate the influx of travelers, the TSA advises passengers to arrive at airports well in advance—at least two hours before domestic flights and three hours before international flights.
Travelers are also urged to ensure their belongings are packed correctly. The TSA recommends that liquids be carried in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces and placed in a clear, resealable bag. Medications should remain in their original, labeled containers.
Given the anticipated high volume of travelers, the TSA emphasizes the importance of patience and preparation to navigate what is expected to be the busiest Labor Day weekend on record.
Locals in Rehoboth are bracing for the traffic congestion anticipated over the holiday weekend. Elisha Baker, a long-time resident of Lewes, has observed the increasing influx of visitors to the coast each Labor Day and is preparing for another busy period.
