There were large crowds at Miami International Airport on Thursday, May 27, 2021, with more than 660,000 passengers expected during Memorial Day Weekend.

Memorial Day Weekend crowds are upon us.

The airport will be packed, the Ubers hard to find, and the hotels buzzing with visitors for a holiday weekend expected to break pandemic visitor records. According to Travelpulse data, Miami will be one of the five most popular destinations (no surprise).

Miami International Airport is anticipating a daily average of 110,000 travelers as of Thursday, making the holiday weekend the airport’s busiest since the COVID-19 pandemic began.

Memorial Day Weekend is expected to meet and exceed recent hotel occupancy levels that eclipse even pre-pandemic levels, said Rolando Aedo, chief operating officer of the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau.
