TSA said it was expecting Sunday to be one of the busiest air travel days of the holiday.

AAA ranked Miami International Airport and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport among the top three travel destinations for Americans.

Airlines are expected to carry over 31 million people this week.

Inside MIA’s central terminal, leading to Concourses E, F, and FG, TSA security lines were moving just fine Sunday afternoon.

This all coming after the longest government shutdown in U.S. history caused many flight cancellations and delays.
