New statistics show that more than 675,000 people boarded planes at RDU last month.

The airport admits passengers are paying the price for the growing pains and may experience lengthier lines, particularly during peak travel times.

RDU says it is focused on fixing the experience for flyers in the future, with plans to add even more security lanes.

Passengers we spoke to say they appreciate the latest efforts to control the crowds.

"It is very good because people need to travel," Darren Jakasal said. "People need to see family and friends."

August is typically one of the airport's busiest months.
