The Daily News reports that travelers at area airports had a pretty easy time, apparently because less people are flying due to the economy. One Brooklyn resident made sure to get to LaGuardia 2 1/2 hours before her flight, "but instead of waiting in endless lines she was sipping a Bloody Mary before her on-time flight." Another person waiting (and drinking!) said he could "probably go home [to Forest Hills] and come back and still make it." And a traveler at JFK Airport, who said it took him 5 minutes to check in, marveled, "This is the easiest I've ever seen, by far and away. It's practically a ghost town." Readers, if you were traveling yesterday, we hope your journeys were similarly stress-free.




Travelling was smooth and the new Jetblue terminal is nice!
This is a surprise.
Well, not really given the Economy, but a surprise none the less.
It's a sad fact but crowded terminals and massive delays mean the economy is clipping along. Airport ghost towns and easy check-ins mean things are in the dumper.

Took me 1 hour to get from the East Village to my gate at EWR via taxi-NJTranit-monorail. So much for the 4 hours I allotted.
The new Jetblue terminal is definitely nice!
