LOS ANGELES—Millions of Southern California residents will be hitting the road or boarding airplanes for the winter holiday season, with the travel crunch expected to begin as early as tomorrow at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
According to LAX officials, roughly 3.5 million people will be passing through the airport’s terminals between Thursday and Jan. 3, doubling the number from last year’s pandemic-impacted holiday season. The peak travel days are expected to be this Friday and Sunday, and Dec. 26 and Jan. 2.
