SAN DIEGO — Families are returning home after the Thanksgiving holiday. Sunday was a major travel day. Across the country millions of Americans experienced severe weather which also disrupted some flights. San Diego International Airport saw some delays.
The FAA said the U.S. saw a record number of flights leading up to Thanksgiving. TSA expects to screen more than 3 million fliers Sunday.
"This was the first time the whole family is out here for Thanksgiving we all were really conscious about coming out here and enjoying him and this weather and had a great time," said Michelle, who was flying back home to Boston.
Michelle and her mom spent Thanksgiving with family in San Diego. They covered a lot of ground during their eight day stay.
"What didn't we do. Hikes and La Jolla, Old Town San Diego and lots of stuff," Fran said.
The massive storm piling up snow in areas of the northeast isn't impacting their flight.
"Our flights have been great. We're going on the red eye back home with no delays so we're excited," Michelle said.
With white out conditions in many areas, it was a challenging day for other travelers.
This includes the Great Lakes Region, the Dakotas and parts of New York state.
When it comes to road travel, Monday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. is expected to be busy. It's best to travel early in the morning or later in the evening to beat traffic.
