About 2.6 million people were screened at Transportation Security Administration checkpoints Sunday. That’s the most since December 26, 2019, just a couple of months before the pandemic’s arrival stateside caused a near halt in air traffic. This year’s traffic was up 4% from the Sunday after Thanksgiving last year, but it’s still down 11% from the same day in pre-pandemic 2019.
About 3% of flights were canceled on the Saturday of Independence Day weekend 2022, and 5% of flights were canceled on the Fridays before both Memorial Day and Father’s Day/Juneteenth weekends this year. New Year’s weekend was far worse, however, when between 8% and 13% of flights were canceled each day as a surge in Covid cases caused many airline employees to be unable to work.
Can confirm, had to fly both Wednesday and Sunday, both days were very busy. However I did have one of the better experiences than I have all year.
