The winter holidays are not the busiest travel period of the year, but that was of little comfort to the dozens of people waiting for curbside check-in at Newark Liberty International Airport on Wednesday, five days before Christmas.
"We thought it wouldn't be so crowded this early,'' said Rik Nebeker, of Hillsborough, who was traveling with his wife to see their daughter and her fiance in Madison, Wis.
The Nebekers are among a record number of travelers expected to take to the skies and highways over the next two weeks.
The bottom line: Leave extra time and use mass transit when possible. That advice is especially true when visiting New York City, which has a gridlock alert through Friday.
