With less than two days to go before Christmas,
this almost could be a department store aisle.
Instead, you are seeing the crowds which
explain why this weekend is phenomenal
for American Airlines.
More people will be leaving DFW on American
than on any other airline ever before.
By tonight, American Airlines expects to have
booked one hundred seventeen thousand
passengers or more.
And that's a DFW record for departures.
We said all kinds of records during the
Thanksgiving travel period, but they don't
compare at all with what we're doing this
weekend. So needless to say, we're
excited and pleased about our passenger traffic
out of DFW.
If you're flying out tomorrow, it won't be as
crowded inside the terminals, which is good
news if you haven't left yet.
But if you expect to leave your car, DFW, you
might want to reconsider already tonight, the
remote lots are filled and the airport expects
that to remain so throughout the holidays.
So what they're recommending is if you do need
to come out to DFW tomorrow, don't drive
by. Political Channel 5 News tonight, DFW Airport.
