Airlines continue to blame staffing shortages, FAA ground stops and weather delays as reasons for cancellations.

"I feel like there's not that many delays and canceled flights anymore," said passenger Shondra Borges.

Airports and airlines will be put to the test as PHL is now expecting 481,000 travelers at the airport this weekend. Traffic will pick up Thursday and stay that way through Monday, with a drop in travelers on Sunday, according to PHL officials. Travelers may want to consider other ways to get to PHL. Officials said parking is limited in on-site garages and the recently reopened economy lot.

If you haven't traveled since the spring, the economy lot is now a little more expensive at $15 a day with only limited spots available.
