Record traveler volumes expected at JFK amid ongoing construction

In the United States, air travelers at Kennedy, LaGuardia, and Newark Liberty airports are expected to face significant congestion during the holiday season. Passengers are advised to arrive three hours early to navigate construction and record crowds. JFK's renovation involves a $19 billion investment including new terminals, which are currently at peak construction, coinciding with the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Port Authority officials project an increase of over 1.3 million travelers at JFK this week, indicating a 25,000 passenger rise from last year's records. With challenges such as reduced parking and ongoing road construction, public transportation is encouraged to ease travel complications during this busy period.
