Flying is back. More people boarded commercial planes in the U.S. this past Thursday than the comparable same pre-pandemic day in 2019.

The Transportation Security Administration reported that 2,147,090 travelers passed through its security checkpoints, a good indicator for what’s to come over the next few months. If you plan to travel by air this summer, one thing is for certain: You won’t be alone. The TSA estimated that summer air travel is going to break records.
