US: Flying this Thanksgiving? Expect record crowds at airports
Record throngs of travellers are expected to jam into airports over the Thanksgiving break and airlines are adding hundreds of flights a day in response. The TSA said Wednesday that it expects to screen more than 26.8m passengers and airline crew members between Nov 22 and Dec. 2. That would be a 4% increase over last year. The busiest days figure to be the Wednesday before Thanksgiving Day — about 2.7m people — and the Sunday after the holiday, when TSA expects to screen more than 2.8m people. The lightest day is expected to be the holiday itself. US airlines are adding about 850 flights and 108,000 seats per day compared with the same period last year, according to A4A. There were nearly 25,000 flights a day over the Thanksgiving stretch last year. <br/>
