Given that this long summer weekend also coincides with Father’s Day, that means there will be a lot of travel going on. The Friday before Juneteenth clocked in as the most popular air travel day of 2022, according to statistics from the Transportation Security Administration. That also was about 100,000 more travelers than the Friday before Memorial Day weekend. “Welcome to the Juneteenth Holiday Weekend of travel!” wrote TSA spokesperson Lisa Farbstein on Twitter. About 2,700 flights were canceled over Memorial Day weekend.
