NEWARK, NJ — Sunday prediction not the best for people heading home from Thanksgiving.
About 55 million people – the most in decades – were expected to travel on holiday. And slowly but surely, things were picking up at Newark Airport Sunday morning, CBS2’s Christina Fan reported.
The line was shorter at check-in, but the biggest delays were at passenger drop-off points. If you’ve driven to the airport before, you know it can take more than 10 minutes just to get to the departures level of Terminal C.
Once people get in, the process has been relatively smooth. AAA predicted huge crowdsbut most travelers are shocked at how painless the journey has been.

However, a weather system will complicate matters on Sunday afternoon. Those who caught an early flight home were relieved to have given themselves a buffer.
“I definitely leave early or book flights at a certain time if it’s easy enough to do … non-peak hours. So early in the morning or late at night,” one traveler told us.
Delays are expected as the tri-state area and other regions collide rain and/or snow on Sunday.
