holiday travel

If you're one of the millions of Americans planning to head home for the holidays, get ready to endure some nightmarish travel conditions, especially in New York State.

As we gear up for holiday travel, here's something to keep in mind. Traveling always has some stress involved, but a study was done that identified the most stressful airports in the United States. Two New York airports made the list but surprisingly this Upstate New York airport landed at #1!

If you have traveled the New York State Thruway at all, you know that there are many rest areas closed. A lot of them only have gas available and no restrooms. If you are traveling during the Christmas holiday with children, it's only going to get more difficult. These Thruway rest area renovations will go well into 2023.

More than 115 million people traveled for the holidays in 2019. That was up nearly 4% from 2018 but what about this year? Consider this, if you travel for Christmas 2020 you could lose your job.

Like we didn't see this coming, but this bad? Gas prices will be on the rise for the holiday weekend and be at their highest since 2008.

If your Memorial Day Weekend plans take you either a short distance down the Northway or a long extended drive; be prepared for extra traffic.

Ah, Holiday travel. The packed airports with crying children, inconsiderate people, long lines at security, and of course - the baggage fees. How my ticket purchase does not allow me at least one checked item for free amazes me. How do you solve this problem? You can be like one man who turned up at a China airport wearing 70 items of clothing.
