Kimt news 3's samantha soto joins us live from rochester international airport ?
"* sam what has the airport experienced this month?
George here at rst ?
"* staff tell me they are seeing more and more travellers packing their suit cases and heading on spring break each week this month.
Marketing and communication s manager at rst tiana o'connor tells me in february the airport only served 40 percent of the passengers they served in early 2020.
Now ?
"* they are seeing essential travel in patient passengers ?
"* in addition to the leisure travelers heading to spring break destinations.
O'connor says industry?
"*wide the trend tends to be more people are either searching for travel or planning trips.
"many people cancelled or put off trips last year ?
"* and as vaccines are becoming more widely available and there's safety measures in place ?
"* people have that confidence to be able to book that vacation again and be able to get back to travel."
And if you are hesitant to travel ?
"* o'connor tells me most airlines aren't issuing a changed flight fee ?*- meaning most tickets booked would be able to be changed or cancelled with no penalty.
Thank you samantha.
Before taking off ?
