A lot of people in Massachusetts are heading back to work tomorrow so Sunday is expected to be another busy day in the skies and on the roads.
TSA was anticipating over 70,000 people to pass through Logan Airport today, and lines to get through security wrapped through the airport entrance before 7 a.m., leaving some travelers frustrated.
"The lines are a little outrageous right now," Christian Shinohara said. "I'm trying to just get home to my dorm because I want some time to recuperate after a long Thanksgiving break so it's unfortunate the lines are long right now."
Other travelers were unfazed.
"I was visiting family in California, it was nice," said Robin Johnson. "I'm from Atlanta, the busiest airport in the world. This isn't a bad line. Just saying."
It had been projected to be a record breaking holiday for travel, with nearly 80 million Americans expected to be traveling -- that includes half a million Mass. residents getting out of town.
"Since lockdowns cooled off, and people started getting back out there, travel's just been on people's minds and that's where they've been putting their spending, so that's led to really record breaking travel numbers for the last two years in a row" said Mark Schieldrop, a senior spokesperson for AAA.
Massachusetts is also a gateway both by air and road for destinations around the northeast, so there will be plenty of people passing through the Bay State as well.
Massport has extra staff on hand to make sure things run smoothly.
