DALLAS — Robert Hopkins got ahead of the summer travel rush with a trip to Scandanavia to celebrate his 27th wedding anniversary with his wife and escape the Texas heat.
He hopes he can avoid any travel fireworks on Independence Day when he flies back home to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport on American Airlines, trying to navigate customs, busy terminals and packed flights during the busiest travel weekend in more than two years.
“I’m currently worried about flying out of Oslo as daily news reports show check-in queues out the door,” Hopkins, a military historian and retired health care executive, said via direct message from Norway.
