Tampa International Airport expected to hit travel peak as Thanksgiving holiday starts

As the Thanksgiving travel holiday begins, an all-time tourist traffic will be seen at Tampa International Airport.

Wednesday and Sunday are predicted to be the busiest days, with over 80,000 passengers expected to pass through the airport terminals each day. There will likely be parking restrictions this year as well.

Some garages may be filled to capacity and drivers could be directed to park in remote lots where shuttle service is provided.

To avoid dealing with missed connections, arriving too late, or any additional delays when travel picks up many travelers decided to make their way to Tampa a few days before their respective flights. 

Over 16,000 flights were canceled by Southwest in a few days during the Christmas season of last year. Passenger bags piled up at baggage claims across the nation as a result of the nationwide oversight.  

While some people are still upset about their awful travel from the previous year. Still, many travelers claim that their attention is on their destination rather than the journey.
