Busy travel day expected at Atlanta airport

ATLANTA - It's expected to be a busy travel day at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

A spokesman says more than 300,000 passengers are expected to past through the world's busiest airport Wednesday, the day after Christmas.

At 9:00 Wednesday morning, all 22 security lanes are open and there is about a 25-minute wait to get through.

About 1.8 million people were expected to pass through the airport from Dec. 20 to Thursday.

Another burst of passengers is expected over the New Year's holiday period.
