TAMPA, Fla. — As the Fourth of July weekend comes to a close, Tampa International Airport is still moving at full throttle, with passengers navigating the final day of holiday travel with a little luck, a lot of luggage and just enough patience to get home.

The red, white and boom may be over, but the travel rush is still soaring. At Tampa International Airport, the holiday weekend brought a wave of visitors, and on the final day, the terminals are still buzzing with activity.

“It’s been great, no delays, real smooth. Workers are really nice,” Emily Territo, a passenger making her way through the airport to Buffalo said.

For some travelers, the weekend was a welcome surprise after a summer filled with travel disruptions.

“I was worried… I’ve had a lot of bad travel experiences this summer… but it’s been good so far,” Rylie Carroll, another passenger said.

Carroll’s concerns weren’t unfounded, given her recent travel experiences.

“I was flying out of Long Island,” she said. “My flight was delayed like 8 hours. TSA closed and I had to book a flight for the next day.”

But at Tampa International Airport, patience wasn’t taking a nosedive.

“We had delays getting here… but since we’ve been here it’s been pretty good. Enjoyed Tampa, enjoyed the beach,” Larry Miles, a passenger preparing for departure, said.

TSA estimates screening nearly 2.9 million passengers nationwide Sunday, making this one of the busiest travel days of the year. Despite the high volume, most travelers at TPA reported positive experiences.

“Yeah, a little bit of weather, but they usually stay on top of it. I wasn’t too worried,” Territo said, referring to Florida’s unpredictable weather patterns.

While Florida’s forecast always comes with a chance of storms, most flights stayed on course Sunday.

“Yeah, I’ve been checking all morning to see what’s going to happen, but we’re good. We’re in the clear right now,” Carroll confirmed.

As the holiday weekend comes in for a landing, passengers are hoping their flights do the same.

“TSA checks went fine… just delays in the flights and flight changes and that kind of stuff,” Miles noted, reflecting the typical travel challenges that come with peak holiday periods.
