BALTIMORE — BWI Airport had only a few delays and TSA lines were moving on Sunday as travelers departed for their holiday destinations.
“I expected it to be a little busier. It’s not as busy as I thought,” said Atheana Pierre, who was traveling to Boston.
Some traveling to BWI on Sunday said they didn’t expect delays in the terminal, but the left early because they anticipated traffic on the highways.
“We left very early because we were afraid maybe we would get stuck in traffic, but it was very good,” said traveler Leslie Frazer. “We’re very pleased so far.”
Ben Hoyle and his family are flying to North Carolina to spend time with family. They plan to beat some holiday traffic and fly back on Christmas Day after a family party.
“My family will have a party Christmas Eve and then kind of quiet family time Christmas Day,” Ben Hoyle said. “Later on Christmas we’ll fly back up here.”
Busiest travel days of the season
More than two million Marylanders are expected to travel this holiday season with the majority taking to the roads, according to AAA Mid-Atlantic.
