"Travelers should be patient whether they're going by plane or car, officials and experts say. Area airports are expecting a higher number of passengers this weekend and next, according to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey."
"McKeon suggested travelers check airport websites for terminal wait times, which will be regularly updated. 'My favorite thing to remind passengers is pack your patience, right? It's the first big spike of passenger volumes in our annual calendar and patience goes a long way to making the experience less difficult.'"
Spring break travel is anticipated to create chaos as thousands of students and families travel. Airport security lines are easing due to backpay for TSA workers, but callout rates are still high.

The Port Authority will have extra staff to assist, and checking airport websites for wait times is recommended.
