If you thought Los Angeles International Airport was even more crowded than usual last week, you weren't imagining things. Nearly 670,000 people flew out of LAX from July 2 to July 7, with Sunday being the busiest day of the extended holiday weekend, according to the Transportation Security Administration. Sunday was a red-letter day for airports across the country, the TSA reported, with a record 3 million people filling the security lines — a smidgen higher than the previous record of 2.
By contrast, the national holiday was Hollywood Burbank’s busiest day of the week. There, 11,549 travelers passed through security, or 44% more than were screened on Sunday. Other airports on the West Coast including San Diego International Airport and Seattle–Tacoma International Airport also dealt with a flood of travelers last week. A record 47,964 people passed through security at San Diego International Airport on Sunday, up 4% from the previous record set on June 9.
