Record-breaking Summer Travel Season Expected with Airlines Preparing for Busy Days.
Today is the busiest day for air travel in years, with over 22,000 flights scheduled to depart in the US alone. The summer is expected to get even busier, with more than 3 million seats to be flown in the US on June 5th. Airline executives have reported strong booking demand through the summer and into the fall, especially for long-haul international flights and leisure destinations. Travelers should prepare for crowds and possible disruptions by giving themselves extra time and considering travel insurance.
