Mil­lions of Amer­i­cans are ignor­ing the advice of pub­lic health experts and trav­el­ing for the Thanks­giv­ing holiday.

The Trans­porta­tion Secu­ri­ty Admin­is­tra­tion report­ed that more than 1.04 mil­lion peo­ple went through air­port secu­ri­ty check­points Sun­day, the most since mid-March, and about 1 mil­lion more went through TSA check­points each day on Fri­day and Saturday.

The num­bers are still less than half those for trav­el­ers who flew last year on com­mer­cial air­lines the week­end before Thanks­giv­ing, but this year’s fig­ures sug­gest air­ports are more crowd­ed and planes fuller than they’ve been at any time since the pan­dem­ic began.
