Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport 50 Percent Busier During Holidays

With the holidays comes the travel and the crowds, and Sky Harbor will be no exception Monday and Tuesday.

"We are going to be about 50 percent busier than an average travel day for our arrivals and departures," said Heather Lissner, a spokesperson with Sky Harbor. "So travelers who are flying out should give themselves extra time and arrive early."

Lissner said that on an average day, about 100,000 people pass through Sky Harbor.
