It feels like Sanibel & Captiva are going to have their biggest year since 2007. The islands are already hopping in January.
Peak island traffic times are the morning and evening commute, so plan ahead.
Southwest Florida International Airport released December passenger traffic statistics and 2014 ended up close to surpassing 2007 record number of passengers. If current trends continue 2015 should be the largest passenger traffic year ever for the airport.
