Ok, let's talk about , y'all. Be prepared for some busy airports!

The Transportation Security Administration () is set to screen over 17 million travelers during what is expected to be the busiest Labor Day travel period on record, from August 29 through September 4. The peak day will be August 30, with anticipating screening around *2.86 million* people.

This summer has seen the highest air travel volumes in TSA history. Notably, all ten of the busiest travel days in TSA history have occurred since May 2024, with a record set on July 7 when over three million people were screened in one day.

TSA Administrator David Pekoske commented, “Travel has reached new heights this summer, and TSA, alongside our airline and airport partners, is ready to handle the busiest travel period on record this Labor Day weekend. I commend our dedicated workforce—both the TSOs at checkpoints and those working behind the scenes—for their efforts in maintaining a secure transportation system and enhancing the passenger experience with new checkpoint technology.”

To manage the increased travel volume, TSA will adhere to wait time standards of 10 minutes or less in TSA PreCheck lanes and 30 minutes or less in standard lanes. Travelers are encouraged to join the TSA PreCheck program to enjoy expedited screening without removing shoes, belts, 3-1-1 liquids, laptops, food items, or light jackets. Members should ensure their Known Traveler Number (KTN) is included in their airline reservation.

As a bit of an extra tidbit - Starting May 7, 2025, REAL ID will be required for air travel. Travelers will need a REAL ID-compliant form of identification, such as a REAL ID driver's license (marked with a star), or an alternative like a U.S. passport.
