Spring break travel: 94K passengers expected at Atlanta airport today

CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. — Spring break travel will begin Friday with most school districts in metro Atlanta out of class next week.

Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport expects today will be one of the busiest days of the year with 94,500 travelers projected.

This comes after passengers experienced long lines for weeks. Many TSA agents called out or quit for not getting paid during the partial government shutdown.

The Atlanta airport’s website has shown wait times between 5-30 minutes throughout the morning so far.

We’re LIVE at the airport with a look at the lines and what passengers can expect, on Channel 2 Action News This Morning from 4:30 a.m. to 9 a.m.
