THE RAILS AND IN THE SKIES. MID-MORNING IN TERMINAL A AT LOGAN. ITS A TYPICAL TUESDAY, BUT PREPARATIONS ARE ALREADY UNDERWAY FOR WHAT COULD BE A RECORD BREAKING HOLIDAY TRAVEL SEASON. TOM. ITS GOING TO PUT A WAIT ON. WELL EXPLAIN WHAT THIS IS IN A MOMENT, BUT FIRST, HERES WHAT MASSPORT IS EXPECTING. WERE GOING TO SEE WE EXPECT ALMOST 1.2 MILLION PEOPLE TO COME THROUGH THE AIRPORT STARTING THIS FRIDAY THROUGH THE MONDAY AFTER THANKSGIVING. ITS AN UPTICK FROM WHAT WE SAW LAST YEAR AND EVEN OVER OUR RECORD YEAR OF 2019. ITS NOT JUST AIR TRAVEL. HIGHWAYS WILL ALSO BE CONGESTED. MASSDOT HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATOR JONATHAN GULLIVER SAYS THE BUSY WEEK ON THE ROADS BEGINS EARLIER THAN IT USED TO. WE EXPECT THAT MONDAY, STARTING AS EARLY AS 2 P.M., YOULL START SEEING MUCH MORE HEAVY TRAFFIC THAN USUAL. THAT WILL PEAK ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. SUNDAY AND MONDAY WILL BE BUSY WITH RETURN TRAVEL TO JUST IN TIME FOR THE HOLIDAY RUSH. MASSPORT IS PROMOTING THE NEW FLY LOGAN APP, WHICH INCLUDES A PARKING RESERVATION FEATURE SO YOU CAN BOOK AND PAY FOR PARKING IN ADVANCE. WELL MAKE SURE THE SCALE READS ZERO ONLY ON FIVE INSPECTORS. BRIAN OLIVER AND TOM BENSON FROM THE CITY OF BOSTON, INSPECTIONAL SERVICES ARE DOING AN ANNUAL TEST OF ALL THE SCALES AT LOGAN. SO THIS SCALE ACTUALLY PASSES TO MAKE SURE TRAVELERS ARE NOT OVERCHARGED. ISD COMMISSIONER TONYA DEL RIO HAS THIS ADVICE FOR ANYONE CHECKING A BAG ANY TIME OF THE YEAR. MAKE SURE, JUST LIKE IN A GAS PUMP, THAT THE SCALES MARKING ZERO WHEN YOU FIRST LOOK AT IT, BEFORE YOU PLACE YOUR BAGGAGE ON IT. IN ADDITION TO THAT, ISD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU WEIGH YOUR LUGGAGE ON ONE OF THE SATELLITE SCALES AROUND THE TERMINAL SO THAT YOU HAVE A BALLPARK IDEA OF WHAT YOUR BAGGAGE WEIGHS BEFORE YOU CHECK IN FOR YOUR FLIGHT.
