“This is going to be one of the busiest travel holidays we’ve probably seen in the air, on the ground and on the rail and with weather also coming in, the inclement weather is going to cause some delays at airports. Delays, frustration, it just trickles on down.”

STORYLINE:
Airlines are struggling to keep flights on time heading into the Memorial Day holiday weekend, but at least cancellations have been relatively modest so far.
The big test comes Friday, which is expected to be the busiest day of the weekend for air travel.
The Transportation Security Administration predicts nearly 3 million people will pass through airport checkpoints Friday, which could threaten the record of 2.9 million, set on the Sunday after Thanksgiving last year.
Even more people will be on the roads.
AAA says about 38 million of the 44 million people who are expected to travel at least 50 miles from home this weekend will go by vehicle.
