People across the country have started heading home from Thanksgiving with TSA expecting Sunday to be the busiest travel day.
Officials expect 2.9 million people to fly home on Sunday. If that holds, it could be the busiest day on record for TSA.
Detroit Metro Airport officials predict that more than 850,000 will fly in and out of DTW from November 17th to November 26th.
Detroit resident Tanya Haugabook says she expected delays and long wait times, but she didn't have any issues.
“It was not bad at all, I think I got to the airport probably three hours early… and TSA moved smoothly," said Haugabook.
7 Action News spoke to people on Sunday who say despite the record-breaking number of people traveling, their experiences at the airport went well.
“The airport was definitely busy, the flight was definitely full… It felt crowded but not out of control," said Mark Erichson, Ann Arbor resident.
For the Christmas and New Year holidays, airport officials expect 1.5 million people will travel through DTW.
If you plan on traveling during the rest of the holiday season, officials are encouraging people to arrive early to the airport and arrange for assistance ahead of time.
Also, if you plan on traveling with gifts, it's recommended that you not wrap them just in case TSA has to open them.
