"It feels good to be traveling, just to get one last trip before school starts," said one PBIA traveler.
Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officials say lower airfares and a post-pandemic rebound have contributed to the travel surge, with more than 17 million people expected to fly this weekend — a record-breaking number.
Jeff Page with Cruise Planners said he’s not surprised by the numbers.
