While you may be at home, millions of others are hitting the road and sky for their spring break this year. Washington Island and Luxemburg-Casco will kick off the spring break activities for the area’s eight public school districts with the others wrapping theirs up no later than Easter Monday. The trade group Airlines for America predicts that 2.6 million people a day will fly during March and April, which coincides with the country’s spring breaks. Austin Straubel Airport Director Marty Piette says they are seeing an increase in their travel volume as local travelers are escaping to St. Petersburg and Orlando in Florida, Denver, Colorado, and Phoenix, Arizona in droves to escape the Wisconsin weather.

As it has been the case for the last year-plus coming out of the pandemic with people returning to the airways to fly for vacation, Piette reminds you to pack your patience when traveling for your vacation.
