Many people said it was definitely busy, but things were moving smoothly for them.
Sammy Dratch, who’s visiting her family here in South Florida, said she thought it would be way busier.

Another traveler from New Jersey, Allison Aquilino, said she had an extra early wake up time to give herself enough time to navigate this trip.
“It was good, I did have to wake up at 3 a.m. to get to the airport, but other than that it wasn’t too bad,” she said. “I have precheck, everyone should get that, especially for the holidays.”
