Record-Breaking Travel Expected for Independence Day Weekend

The holiday weekend is upon us and travel records for many years are expected to be broken.

According to AAA, it is projected that 50.7 million people will travel nationwide during this Independence Day weekend.

Only between the 3 John F Kennedy, La Guardia and Newark airports, some 2 million travelers are expected to circulate.

Higo Conrado left very early for the airport to enjoy this holiday and he said that he had no problems.

“Everything’s fine, thank God I’m going to see my mom.”

-How many days will it be?

“One week I return on the seventh.”

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey recommends that travelers, whether by air or by road, take extra time and plan to enjoy this period. For some it will be five days and in which about 5.3 million passengers are expected locally using the roads and airports.

Elizabeth Bachinelo, with a big smile, said that her daughter has prepared a celebration for her on the 4th of July and they drove from afar to catch her flight.

“We come from Connecticut, an hour of traffic and everything is fine, there are no complaints.”

If you plan to travel by plane at any of the city’s airports, consider the weather conditions as well as the poor air quality, which could cause delays due to low visibility.

If you are traveling by road, remember that a good option is to use one of the applications that can help you find the cheapest gasoline.

Authorities also recommend using traffic apps as well as local notifications from the Department of Transportation and 511 services in order to minimize complications as 3.3 million vehicles are expected to cross New York City’s bridges and tunnels.

And of course, those who already have everything ready for the Independence Day barbecue could not be missing.

“We are going to have a ‘barbecue’ and be together with the family sharing,” said Eda Martínez.

And he gave us this advice to avoid complications when traveling…

“Well, they should try to arrive early before the hour so as not to have problems.”

And remember that it is essential to check the conditions of your flight if there is any delay or cancellation. And of course also the local traffic during peak hours.
