more travelers. Officials say that from Friday, May 27th to Monday, May 30th, there will be more than 811,000 travelers passing through LAX.


Last years travelers were much less, about 5% less than this years. This shows one of two things, people’s economics are getting better or they are just tired of staying home and not going anywhere.

As far as the summer goes, the scenario is more of the same. Officials state that almost 18 million travelers will be passing through the LAX airport. That’s only during the days of May 27th through Labor Day, September 4th. This is a 6% increase from last summers traveling data.

What should you do with this information? Get to the airports early, at least two hours before your flight and three hours would be better. Check with the airline’s website to make sure you know what to expect in the way of fees involving additional luggage, overweight luggage, and carrying perishables.
