Snowy weather caused scattered highway closures across Colorado on Sunday, but a huge crush of travelers at Denver International Airport encountered relatively minor delays as the Thanksgiving weekend came to a close.

More than 157,000 passengers were expected to fly in and out of DIA on Sunday, the busiest day of the holiday week, according to figures given by the airlines to DIA officials. But the large crowds, snow and wet road conditions didn't cause many travel headaches.

By late morning, more than 60 incoming flights posted delays of 15 minutes to 90 minutes on television screens at the main terminal, and more than 40 departing flights also posted delays of up to two hours. But the majority of flights appeared to be on time.

Security wait times fluctuated between five and 15 minutes.

In the morning, the El Jebel Shrine family band played patriotic and Christmas tunes for people in the security check-in area, drawing light applause. More bands entertained travelers later in the day.

Band director Ted Worth said several of his musicians, some older than 80, didn't make it to the airport because of the poor weather.

Some check-in lines were long, but passengers said they were pleased overall with their travel experience.

Rob Corbari, a 25-year-old bartender from Fort Collins, said his flight was delayed only about five minutes in the air near DIA. He flew in from Boise, Idaho, where he had gone to visit his parents. He said he flew to Boise early Wednesday morning and had a smooth travel experience then as well.

"Overall, I was surprised — not a single hiccup," Corbari said as he waited for his girlfriend to arrive on another flight. "For the holidays, it was a pretty incredible experience."

Phyllis Wilkins, 48, flew in from Amarillo, Texas, on Sunday morning and said her flight went well, except for some bumps. She sat in the arrival waiting area for a friend who was delayed coming in from Steamboat Springs because of snow.

Wilkins still had to make the three-hour drive to get home to Salida, where she runs a restaurant. "Probably four-and-a- half today," she said, because of the snow.
