Travelers flying into and out of Logan Airport Friday seemed extra thankful for a smooth travel experience.
The Dumont family from the Boston area was all smiles as they made their way through the airport early Friday night with two little ones and multiple suitcases.
“Even TSA was zip right through,” said Kelly Dumont. “The Atlanta airport was easy this morning. It was not busy at all.”
The Bergeron family from Rockland shared a similar story.
“Our flight to Denver was very smooth. Everything was smooth,” Renee Bergeron, said.
Bergeron says she booked her trip months ago in January, but during the government shutdown she was concerned their flight to and from Denevr might not happen.
“We were a little hesitant, worried, but luckily everything opened back up in time,” she said.
Wednesday was a busy day on the roads on the eve of the holiday.
“There’s a little bit of that ya know with the shutdown recently, but it was actually really smooth,” A.B Delevaux from Boston said,
Heavy snowfall across the Great Lakes Region made travel a little hectic for others across the country. As of Friday night, nearly 90 flights were canceled into or out of the United States and more than 3,400 flights were delayed, according to FlightAware.
Delevaux says when it comes to flying on a holiday, many are willing to sacrifice.
“You’ll do anything for them and that’s including travel, so if a flight is the quickest way, I believe people are still gonna take that chance,” Delevaux said.
As of late Friday night, FlightAware reported no cancellations into and out of the country from Logan Airport, but there were nearly 150 delays.
