If you’re planning on taking a plane ride for a Memorial Day weekend getaway, better prepare for busier airport terminals.
Two of South Florida’s largest airports are expecting this holiday weekend.
Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International expects nearly 545,000 people to travel through its airport this Memorial Day weekend.
While Miami International Airport said it expects more than 900,000 passengers — a volume similar to last year’s record-breaking number.
The busiest travel days will likely be Friday and Monday.
Airport officials recommend travelers arrive at least two to three hours before a flight.
Parking lots are expected to fill up fast, so it's advised to be dropped off instead or to use rideshare services and public transportation.
