Jacksonville International Airport officials expect Sunday to be the busiest day of the Thanksgiving travel weekend.

In preparation for the increase of travelers, it's opening the Economy Log 3 and offering $20 parking from Wednesday, November 25 through Wednesday, December 2.

The fee is payable upon entry with cash or credit card.

This special event lot will operate on a first-come, first-serve basis and may close without notice. 

Free shuttle service is available through December 2.

Vehicles remaining in Economy Lot 3 after December 2 may be towed at the owner's expense. 

Other parking options include Economy Lots 1 and 2 ($5.00 per day), Daily Surface Lot ($8.00 per day), Daily Garage ($14.00 per day) or the Hourly Garage ($18.00 per day). All prices include tax.

Below are estimates of the number of passengers who departed JAX in 2014 and 2015 over Thanksgiving weekend.
