As the holiday season is approaching once again, everyone is starting to make their travel plans. Regardless if you're flying out to Chicago or New York, there will be crowds galore! Do yourself a favor and avoid the headache by not using one of these airports.

1. AIRPORTS TO AVOID
THIS HOLIDAY SEASON
BY JONATHAN NADLER

2. THERE IS NOTHING QUITE LIKE THE
STRESS OF TRAVELLING DURING THE
HOLIDAYS. ADD IN THE ANXIETY OF AIR
TRAVEL AND YOU COULD BE STRESSED
BEFORE YOU EVEN REACH THE FRONT
DOOR OF YOUR HOLIDAY DESTINATION.
ONE STEP IN COMBATTING THIS STRESS IS
CHOOSING THE BEST AIRPORT TO TRAVEL
FROM AND AVOIDING THE WORST.

3. THE FOLLOWING THREE RANK VERY
LOW WHEN IT COMES TO THE
HOLIDAY TRAVEL EXPERIENCE.

4. LAGUARDIA NEW YORK AIRPORT

5. ON A REGULAR TRAVEL DAY AT LAGUARDIA,
CROWDED AND STRANDED TRAVELERS
OFTEN PACE THE TERMINALS AS THERE IS
INADEQUATE GATE SEATING, A LACK OF
POWER OUTLETS AND EVEN A LACK OF
RESTROOMS. ESCAPE HERE EXPLAINS THAT
AT CHRISTMAS TIME THIS GETS EVEN WORSE
AND AS THE BAD WEATHER OFTEN HITS, THE
RUNWAYS BECOME CONGESTED LEAVING
PASSENGERS TRAPPED IN THE AIRPORT. TRY
USING A SMALLER, LOCAL AIRPORT INSTEAD
OF LAGUARDIA DURING THE HOLIDAYS.

6. O’HARE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

7. AIRHELP.COM EXPLAINS THAT O’HARE IS
FRUSTRATING ANY TIME OF YEAR, IN FACT,
MANY TRAVEL WEBSITES AND EXPERTS WILL
ENCOURAGE YOU TO AVOID O’HARE AT ALL
COSTS. IT ONLY GETS WORSE THE CLOSER IT
GETS TO TURKEY DAY, SO IF YOU CAN, OPT
INSTEAD TO FLY OUT OF MIDWAY AIRPORT
AND BOOK A FLIGHT EARLIER IN THE DAY
BEFORE THE TERMINALS START TO BECOME
CONGESTED.

8. NEWARK LIBERTY INTERNATIONAL
AIRPORT

9. NEWARK MIGHT HAVE A REPUTATION FOR
BEING A LESSER-KNOWN NEW YORK-AREA
AIRPORT, BUT IT’S ALSO THE BUSIER OF THE
SIBLING AIRPORTS DURING THE HOLIDAYS.
ALSO, ACCORDING TO MILECARDS.COM, THE
LIKELIHOOD OF HAVING YOUR FLIGHT
CANCELLED OVER THANKSGIVING OR
CHRISTMAS IS MORE THAN TWICE AS LIKELY
THERE THAN ANY OF THE OTHER 50 BUSIEST
AIRPORTS.

10. THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME FOR
THE HOLIDAYS, SO IF YOU WANT TO
ARRIVE ON TIME AND IN A PLEASANT
MOOD, AVOID USING LAGUARDIA,
O’HARE AND NEWARK AIRPORTS.
