One flyer who's heading to Florida says he had some concerns due to the rainy weather.

Wednesday morning News 3's Kelsey Jones spent most of her time at the airport keeping an eye out on travel. At one point the airport was packed with flyers, but the crowd did die down overtime. Hagan says he hopes it stays that way.
"This is like the emptiest I've seen it in awhile so hopefully it will be easy for me to get on this plane and the security line won't be too long" Hagans added.
Sunday, is expected to be the busiest day of travel. Another flyer said she strategically booked her flights because of this reason because of her dislike for crowds.
