FENTON, Mo. - Airports across the nation are preparing for one of the busiest travel surges in nearly two decades this Labor Day weekend, with the TSA expecting over 88,000 passengers at Lambert Airport between Thursday and Monday.

In addition to the surge in air travel, Labor Day weekend gas prices are projected to be the lowest since the pandemic in 2020. Petroleum analysts predict the national average will be around $3.15 per gallon, while Missouri drivers are seeing an average of $2.87 per gallon, down from last year.

Traffic on Missouri highways is already increasing, with the Missouri Department of Transportation (MODOT) anticipating congestion to peak on Friday afternoon, late Sunday, and Monday evening.
