That is 1.6 million more travelers than last year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">At Miami International Airport, Daniel Valez, a spokesman for the Transportation Security Administration, said TSA expects to screen 640,000 from \u201cMonday to Monday.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">On Tuesday afternoon, MIA and the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport ranked 15th in the country on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flightaware.com\/miserymap\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.flightaware.com\/miserymap\/\">the FlightAware\u2019s Misery Map<\/a>, which tracks delays and cancellations. <\/p>\n<p>Thanksgiving-related travel: AAA forecasts record high <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The Chicago O\u2019Hare International Airport, ORD; the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, and the Denver International Airport were the top three on the Misery Map. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, the George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport, and the Los Angeles International Airport followed. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">On Tuesday alone, the Federal Aviation Administration expected more than 52,000 domestic flights, and the TSA expects to screen about 2.7 million travelers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy recently asked travelers to be more courteous with fellow travelers and dress more formally while flying after the 43-day federal government shutdown. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">It appears some travelers are opting to fly less than usual.
