Thanksgiving travel week is well underway at Charlotte Douglas International Airport. From Thursday, November 17 to Monday, November 28, more than 822,000 passengers are expected to travel to, from and through the airport.

According to CLT Chief Infrastructure Officer, Jack Christine, that averages about 72,000 daily, when including passengers with connections at CLT.

“From a local perspective, we can range anywhere between 24,000 to 28,000. That’s a nice comfortable day,” Christine told WCNC. “During peak times, that’ll go into the 30s and some of the individual days that we see. And then over the next week or so, we’ll have a number of those 30 to 35 [thousand]. Those peak days especially, you’re going to be really, really pushing it.”

Some travelers told WCNC, their experience getting to the ticket counter on Sunday morning, wasn’t bad because they allowed themselves plenty of time. #WakeUpCLT #Thanksgiving
