It&#8217;s kind of crowded,\u201d said Joaquin Deleon Guerrero, who was traveling from Saipan.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the hustle and bustle during the last holiday of summer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe came here to visit family, and we&#8217;re headed back to Dallas today,\u201d said Zahid Ahmad, who was traveling from Dallas.<\/p>\n<p>But the rush of travelers doesn\u2019t always go smoothly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So we dropped off her bags. We got in line for TSA pre-check, and then I got an alert on my phone saying the flight was cancelled. The incoming plane was from Dallas, and it looks like there&#8217;s bad weather there. The planes that are coming in from Dallas got canceled, it\u2019s not just our flight there\u2019s like two three other flights too,\u201d said Ahmad.<\/p>\n<p>Other delays filled up the screens at the San Diego International Airport.<\/p>\n<p>But that didn&#8217;t stop the estimated 300,000 travelers from passing through Labor Day weekend.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, we weren&#8217;t sure, but we were there for like maybe almost 3 hours before our flight out in DC because we know that it&#8217;s a holiday. It&#8217;s just over the weekend, so we&#8217;re assuming that there might be a lot of passengers, and we know how it is for going through TSA, you know, it takes a while,\u201d said Deleon Guerrero.<\/p>\n<p>For those on the ground and not in the skies, getting to the airport is easier now.<\/p>\n<p>The brand-new on-airport roadway is open; the entrance is much closer than the old one, so be sure to look out for it immediately after the intersection of North Harbor Drive and Laurel Street.<\/p>\n<p>The new roadway is expected to take 45,000 vehicles off North Harbor Drive per day.<\/p>\n<p>There are no stoplights or intersections on the actual road, so there\u2019s less traffic and nothing to slow travelers down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAN DIEGO (KGTV) \u2014 San Diego International Airport is expected to see 75,000 people traveling through, making it&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":193528,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5134],"tags":[5229,1582,276,3549,7264,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-193527","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-diego","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-california","11":"tag-san-diego","12":"tag-sandiego","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-united-states-of-america","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","17":"tag-us","18":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193527","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=193527"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193527\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/193528"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=193527"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=193527"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=193527"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
