While it's back to work and school for many of us after this Thanksgiving holiday, some people are still enjoying their vacation. According to the Nashville International Airport, it looks as if the holiday travel period has been extended, and instead of a Sunday return home, a lot of people are choosing to wait later. yesterday was a huge travel day for Americans. The Sunday following Thanksgiving is considered one of the biggest travel days of the year, and while it was very busy, it's expected to be just as busy today and tomorrow too. A lot of people who tried to avoid the airport traffic over the weekend may run into just as many crowds today and tomorrow. This week we'll be seeing a mixed crowd of holiday and business travel. BNA is expecting double its normal volume, over 19,000 passengers through Tuesday, so we're still going to see longer lines at the ticket counter, at the security gate, and baggage claim, along with an increase in traffic.
"It's something we plan for and our operations and public safety, maintenance, and customer service is something we plan for," says BNA Spokeswoman Emily Richard. "All of our tenants stay open later, open earlier, and make a concerted effort to staff up during this time."
This is the busiest bulk of travel we plan to see throughout the holidays. While holiday travel is up this year, most people choose to travel during the Thanksgiving holiday and tend to stay closer to home during Christmas.

2 appellate court judges are stepping down
May 24, 2013 21:29 GMT
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Two Tennessee appellate court judges have notified Gov. Bill Haslam that they will not run for another term on the bench in the August 2014 retention election.
Patricia J. Cottrell, a judge on the Court of Appeals, and Joseph M. Tipton, who sits on the Court of Criminal Appeals bench, will both leave after September of next year.
The announcements come after the state legislature left Tennessee without a way to replace judges who step down or die when a commission expires at the end of next month.
Members of the soon-to-be-defunct Judicial Nominating Commission will make recommendations for replacements to give to Haslam before the panel expires. Haslam will appoint the replacements from those recommendations.
