“Let me assure you that the TSA across the nation is ready for the busy season,” Busch said. The recommendation is to arrive two hours before domestic flights and three hours before international flights. John Busch, the TSA’s federal security director, said the busiest days usually are the Tuesday and Wednesday before Thanksgiving and the Sunday following. “We expect this holiday season to be our busiest ever,” said TSA Administrator David Pekoske.
