Easter weekend means airport congestion

Submitted by Anonymous on Friday, April 22nd, 6:50 am

Is Easter turning into the traveling holiday no one warns you about? It looks that way, with lines at Tampa International stretching from Delta security all the way to the monorail on Good Friday.

Keep in mind it's not just Christmas and Thanksgiving anymore that travelers need to plan around - the picture above was taken around 7 a.m. on Friday, April 22, and shows how packed TIA is.

If you're flying out today, leave plenty of extra time for security lines and congestion. Safe travels!
