With fall break just around the corner for many schools around the Mid-South, the Memphis International Airport is offering its travel tips for families. Nearly 40,000 travelers are expected to pass through the airport’s doors in the next week. Check out the airport’s tips for a smooth traveling experience below:
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (October 5, 2022) – Memphis International Airport (MEM) is preparing for one of its busiest travel periods of the year, with nearly 40,000 people expected to pass through Transportation Security Administration (TSA) checkpoints during the Fall Break travel period October 6-10. TSA at MEM screened 37,955 during the comparable Fall Break period in 2021.
While this year’s projected total is less than the 44,499 that were screened during Fall Break in pre-pandemic 2019, passenger traffic has been on the upswing at MEM. In September 2022, MEM’s checkpoint throughput was 204,704 compared to 203,480 in September 2019. This was the first post-pandemic month where checkpoint traffic exceeded that of the comparable month in 2019. More significantly, September 2022 was the busiest September at MEM since 2008, when 209,295 people were screened.
The peak travel days for Fall Break 2022 are expected to be October 6, 7 and 9. The busiest daily time periods are between 4-7 a.m.
