(Linthicum, MD) -- BWI-Marshall Airport is bracing for a spike in Memorial Day weekend travelers.

AAA Mid-Atlantic is expecting more than 72,000 Marylanders to fly to their holiday destinations, a nearly two-percent increase over last year and the second-highest travel volume by air on record.

TSA officials expect to screen 33,000 travelers per day this weekend at BWI security checkpoints, which is a one-percent increase over a typical day at the Baltimore airport
