QUEENS (PIX11) --- Thanksgiving weekend travelers didnât have many complaints inside LaGuardia Airportâs Terminal A on Sunday.
âWe havenât had extra long waits or anything,â said Mandy Kimbelton, flying from LGA to Florida. âThatâs been completely fine.âÂ
She was flying with her husband, Nate.
âItâs been pretty smooth, to be honest with you,â he said.
But, according to FlightAware, the rest of LGA isnât fairing quite as well. The flight-tracking websiteâs âMisery Mapâ shows more delays at LGA than at any other airport in the country.Â
High winds and rainy weather Sunday forced airlines to delay flights.Â
âItâs very, very, very rainy, cold,â said Mallory Murray, a passenger trying to get home to Florida. âWeâve been delayed about an hour and 48 minutes so far, but potentially further. Weâll just see how it goes.â
Travelers seemed to universally agree that they felt more comfortable traveling this holiday season compared to last year.
âI didnât know what to expect because, you know, COVID and everything,â said Ashley Layman, also traveling to Florida. âBut it felt good. I was a little worried, things might be delayed more, it might be too crowded. But it really hasnât been, so Iâm thankful for that.âÂ
