MONTGOMERYVILLE (WPVI) - - Sunday is expected to be one of the busiest travel days of the year.

"Definitely a lot of people are out today," said Ryan Pio, of Doylestown.

Some drivers told action news they noticed a lot of wheels out on the roadways.

"Very slick, I've been on the roads a little bit today, seems like there's a lot of people out there, you know decent amount of traffic, slow going," said Pio, adding, "It's just been like more than normal for what you would think for a Saturday like more traffic than normal

That's why some avoided traveling for the holidays all together, to stay away from the expected congestion

Others say they experienced smooth travels.

"Overall, not bad. It's the first big road we were on," said Tim Hart, of Torresdale.

With just a few cancelations at Philadelphia international airport on Saturday, travelers there were feeling the same.

"Actually it's been pretty good, I mean people have been pretty nice, spirits have been up, last year was a little bit of a doozy but this year has been really nice," said Breanna Burgess, of Malvern, Pa.

Philadelphia International Airport expected 1.36 million guests to come through from December 20 and January 4th. That's 13.5% higher than last year. Tomorrow the airport anticipates around 94,000 travelers.
