"Spring Break Travel Surge: Airports Brace for Record-Breaking Easter Weekend Crowds"
The TSA screened 2.79 million passengers on Thursday, marking its 10th-busiest day ever, and warned of crowded airports over the Easter weekend, attributing the surge in travel to Spring Break and the end of pandemic restrictions. With record numbers of Americans traveling, there has been a significant increase in cruise and international bookings, prompting the agency to work with airline and airport partners to manage wait times and accommodate the surge in travel volumes.
