From busy airports to savings, here’s what to know about spring break travel
With spring break in full swing, airlines and airports say they expect to be busier this season, which covers most of March and April, compared to prior years.
The TSA expects a 5% jump in flyers over last year. At Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, the country’s second busiest airport, that means 4.8 million flyers over the next several weeks.
While U.S. Airlines warn of slowing demand following recent plane crashes, a drop in government travel and economic uncertainty, United Airlines says 2025’s spring break will break records. The airline is expecting to fly more than 24 million passengers by the end of April, with this week its busiest.
The Porter family told CBS News they’re traveling from Phoenix to Florida for spring break. Normally, they do a road trip to California, but this year Jenna Porter and her three kids are flying to Panama City.
