TSA reported that 92.3% of passengers spent fewer than 15 minutes in security lines, except in some places. Airports like Denver, Orlando, Anchorage, and Kahului, had slightly longer wait times.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, fewer Americans took the skies over the Labor Day holiday weekend than the Fourth of July holiday, just a couple of months ago. TSA data shows that just over 9.2 million passengers passed through TSA checkpoints between September 2 and September 6. This is a significant decrease from the Fourth of July holiday weekend when more than 10.1 million passengers flew through US airports.<\/p>\n<p>The decline in air travel numbers comes in the backdrop of the rising spread of the contagious delta strain spreads. In fact, the director of the CDC warned unvaccinated Americans against traveling ahead of the holiday weekend. According to a poll conducted by Cars.com, more than 20% of Americans who planned to fly for the weekend canceled their flights owing to fears about rising cases and chose to drive to their destination instead.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the drop in travel demand, Americans continued to flock to beaches and college football stadiums to mark the unofficial end of summer.<\/p>\n<h2>Prepared before you travel<\/h2>\n<p>People who have been fully vaccinated can travel within the country, according to the CDC. However, they still need to follow protective measures like social distancing and mask-wearing. The CDC does, however, advise unvaccinated people to postpone their vacation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.way.com\/airport-parking?utm_source=way-blog&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=labor-day-weekend-sees-uptick-in-air-travel\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-21498 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/General-Airport-parking-banner-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"970\" height=\"90\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wordwblog02.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/General-Airport-parking-banner-2.png 970w, http:\/\/wordwblog02.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/General-Airport-parking-banner-2-300x28.png 300w, http:\/\/wordwblog02.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/General-Airport-parking-banner-2-768x71.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you want a worry-free travel experience, you might consider driving yourself to the airport instead of taking public transportation.
