There are still a few days to go until Thanksgiving, but holiday travel is already picking up.

The number of people passing through U.S. airports over the weekend reached levels not seen since before the pandemic. But as CBS2’s John Dias reported Monday, the new federal vaccine mandate may slow down some travelers.

With holiday greetings on the way, so is the gridlock. From LaGuardia Airport, where lines to get through TSA checkpoints were longer than usual, to John F. Kennedy International Airport, local transit hubs were already packed.
