Is Thanksgiving travel in 2026 expected to be the busiest travel week of the year?
Thanksgiving is a major U.S. travel period, but agencies had not released 2026 screening or airport peak-day forecasts by Oct 28. Treat Wednesday, Nov 25, and Sunday, Nov 29, as planning dates, not predicted peaks. TSA's latest daily record is 3,134,613 screenings on Sunday, Nov 30, 2025.
The 100th Macy's Parade is Nov 26, with a 2.5-mile route to Herald Square and designated viewing sections managed by NYPD. Balloons are prepared on Manhattan's Upper West Side Nov 25; public-access details remain pending. NYC DOT's 2026 Gridlock Alert lists Tuesday, Nov 24, not Nov 25 or Nov 26, and is not a Parade routing map. Share your pickup address; we plan around current city and airport notices.
When should I leave Midtown for JFK, LaGuardia or Newark on Wednesday?
Leave time for the drive and your airline's arrival guidance. The Oct 28 Google Maps estimate from Times Square at 3 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov 25, is 55 minutes to 1 hour 40 minutes to JFK, 26 to 50 minutes to LGA and 28 to 50 minutes to EWR. Traffic times can change; check the route before pickup.
| Airport | Google Maps estimate from Times Square around 3 p.m. Wed, Nov 25 | Planning time before flight using the 2025 Port Authority starting point, domestic | Planning time before flight using the 2025 Port Authority starting point, international |
|---|---|---|---|
| JFK | 55 minutes to 1 hour 40 minutes | 2 hours 55 minutes to 3 hours 40 minutes | 3 hours 55 minutes to 4 hours 40 minutes |
| LaGuardia (LGA) | 26 to 50 minutes | 2 hours 26 minutes to 2 hours 50 minutes | 3 hours 26 minutes to 3 hours 50 minutes |
| Newark Liberty (EWR) | 28 to 50 minutes | 2 hours 28 minutes to 2 hours 50 minutes | 3 hours 28 minutes to 3 hours 50 minutes |
These planning times combine the drive estimate with the Port Authority's 2025 advice: arrive at least two hours early for domestic flights and three for international. Treat it as historical context, not a 2026 rule. TSA says to follow airline guidance and allow time for check-in and screening.
How does airport pickup work at JFK, LaGuardia and Newark?
Send airline, flight number, terminal, arrival time and passenger phone number when you request. Airline flights are tracked in real time. For eligible airport arrivals, optional $25 meet-and-greet brings your chauffeur inside with a name sign. Sedans and SUVs include 60 minutes domestic or 90 minutes international waiting from wheels-down. Written quotes set Sprinter, van and coach waiting.
At JFK, check your airline's terminal assignment and construction signs. Arriving app passengers at T5/T7 use the free AirTrain to the Howard Beach pickup lot; accessible app pickup stays at the terminal front, and departures use the terminal curb. For Artisan, follow your pickup details. Curbs are for active pickup and drop-off; unattended vehicles can be towed.
JFK's free Lefferts Boulevard Wait Lot connects to terminals by AirTrain; the East Cell Phone Lot is less than five minutes from each terminal. Tell your chauffeur when your bags are collected.
At LaGuardia, follow pickup instructions and signs. Ride-app pickup is Terminal A across the street, Terminal B parking garage Level 2, or Terminal C arrivals inner lane. The fare-free Q70 LGA Link connects Terminals B and C with subway hubs year-round.
At Newark Liberty, ride-app pickup is Terminal A arrivals across the street, Terminal B arrivals frontage, or Terminal C Floor 3 of the Terminal C Garage. Collect bags, follow pickup signs and match the app's vehicle plate. For a prearranged car, follow your chauffeur's instructions. EWR AirTrain is free between terminals, parking, rental cars and hotel shuttles; the rail-station fare is $8.75 one way without an NJ TRANSIT or Amtrak ticket.
