Airlines busy at Logan Airport as travelers head home after the holidays
BOSTON - Logan Airport was one of the busiest spots in Boston Monday morning as people started to head home after the Christmas holiday weekend.
The Transportation Security Administration said the busiest times for travel would be between 5 and 7 a.m. and later in the day between 4 and 6 p.m.
According to Flight Aware, there were more than 40 cancellations and more than 90 delays at Logan Monday.
Dorett Smith's flight was one of those cancelled.
"The ticket agent said there's nothing she can do for me. She has nothing for later, she had nothing for Tuesday, she has nothing for Wednesday and the only thing she has is for Thursday and there's no guarantee," Smith told WBZ-TV.
"It's too slow, but I think it's okay. Very organized. Too big, but organized," passenger Amanda Bicalho said of the lines.
"It seems to be moving along, hopefully we'll get on our plane, we've got plenty of time," said optimistic traveler Raymond Loughlin.
AAA expects 7.2 million people to fly to their destinations between December 23 and January 2. That's an increase of 14-percent from last year. TSA expects Friday, December 30 to be the busiest day of the week.
Passengers should get to the airport two hours early for domestic flights and three hours for international trips. Also make sure to check your flight status before leaving home in case there are cancellations.
