Traveling on Memorial Day - May 26th
Hi,
I am planning a trip to the states. I am planning to fly from Newark to Charleston SC, on may 26th, probably through Charlotte NC.. Should there be more than usuall problems on this day? I am pretty flexible timewise. Would flying at a certain time of day be better? TIA Gadi -- Gadi Ben-Avi Jeruaslem, Israel |

Memorial Day is a major holiday in the U.S. and you should expect larger than usual crowds at the airport; however, if you give yourself enuff time to check-in and clear security, there should not be a problem. Typically, airlines recommend that for holidays, you arrive 90 minutes before a domestic flight. You may be able to save yourself considerable time in line by checking in online before you arrive at the airport and using curbside check in, if offered. IMO, your best bet is to take the earliest flights possible, as mid-day will be the busiest, and if for some reason, there is a missed connection, there may be a later flight you could take. |

Should there be more than usuall problems on this day? I doubt it. Newark is in New Jersey. You may encounter more ground traffic on the roads, as people drive to the beach or mountains. The peak air traffic is leading up to the holiday and after the holiday. I've traveled on Thanksgiving day and Newark Liberty International Airport was very empty. All the same, I agree allow 90 minutes for passing through security. -- ________ To email me, Edit "blog" from my email address. Brian M. Kochera "Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once!"
