Memorial Day weekend travelers have already set a new 2021 record at Los Angeles International Airport, with more than 78,000 people passing through Transportation Security Administration on Friday alone, according to airport officials.

Americans hit the road in near-record numbers at the start of the Memorial Day weekend.

With air traffic getting busier in the late stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, Los Angeles International Airport officials warned that terminals will likely be busy during the upcoming Memorial Day weekend and travelers should plan ahead.

The new $1.3 billion West Gates expansion at Tom Bradley International Terminal opened Monday at Los Angeles International Airport. The 750,000-square-foot complex includes shopping and dining, along with work counters and charging stations, three children's play areas, touchscreen kiosks, pet relief areas and gallery space.

Los Angeles International Airport is now offering COVID-19 test results in as little as 30 minutes with the addition of rapid antigen tests at the airport's on-site laboratory, officials said Monday.

The number of passengers who traveled through Los Angeles International Airport in 2020 was about a third of the passengers that traveled through the airport in 2019, Los Angeles World Airport officials estimated Friday.
