Flying somewhere this summer? Lots of people are, so you’ll want to get to the airport early. Airlines for America predicts that between June 1st and August 31st 246.1 million passengers will take flight, which is 2.68 million per day. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) estimates a four percent increase in air travel this summer. So when should you avoid flying?

Thursdays and Fridays throughout the summer are usually when airports are their most crowded. Historically, the three Thursdays following the Fourth of July (this year that’s July 5, 12, and 19) are among the most crowded days at the airport all year. The good news: The TSA has hired 1,000 more security agents and added 50 more dog teams to speed things up when you go through airport security.
