The busiest day in TSA's history came on the Sunday after Thanksgiving in 2019, when nearly 2.9 million people were screened at airport security.

Looking across the country, the American Automobile Association, or AAA, estimates that 112.7 million people will journey by car or plane 50 miles or more away from home from Dec. 23 to Jan. 2.

That's an increase of 3.6 million people over last year.

Passengers at Bush Airport shared some of their best travel tips.

"Make sure you have everything you need for your trip - any last-minute arrangements that you need to make. If you're traveling with kids, have everything they need to be comfortable. Dress warm because it is cold outside," Briana Coleman said, who was traveling to Los Angeles.

Another tip to practice is checking the TSA wait times on the Houston Airport System website.
