Plus, if you are catching a flight from RSW you might want to consider leaving the car at home as the airport's holiday lot already filled up at 9:15 a.m. Tuesday.

TSA is projecting they will screen about 2.7 million people today and say weather could also serve as a big problem with snow in the east leading to delays and cancelations.

According to AAA with gas prices lowering it will likely lead to about 49.1 Million people taking to the road for holiday travel.

The FAA says knowing what steps you can take to make your trip as smooth as possible can help save time and stress.
