ORLANDO, Fla. – Officials at Orlando International Airport said they’ve had a busy spring break and they are expecting even more passengers this summer.
Compared to last spring, when the pandemic hit, some passengers we spoke to say they feel better about flying this time around.
“We just wear our masks. It’s like usual we just have our mask on,” Nyzaah Fikes said.
