This year’s holiday season will be one for the record books.

Depending on which metric you use, the two-week period surrounding Christmas Day and the first night of Hanukkah will either be the most heavily-traveled or second-most heavily-traveled in state history.

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey anticipates nearly 14 million travelers to use its roads and airports, while AAA expects 2.7 million New Jerseyans to travel at least 50 miles, which would be second-most in state history behind 2019.

“Travel has been as accessible as it’s ever been, in terms of just the options that folks have,” said Aidan O’Donnell, general manager of New Jersey airports for the Port Authority. “We’ve seen the resurgence coming out of COVID. I know it’s kind of in the rearview mirror now, but the demand really hasn’t subsided from that.”

O’Donnell acknowledged that the shortage of air traffic controllers could lead to delays between now and the new year, but says Newark Liberty Airport has gotten off to a smooth start with few delays.

Meanwhile, New Jersey’s roads remain busy as most travelers will be driving to see friends and family.

“Car travel remains the most popular mode to get to your destination,” said Tracy Noble, a spokesperson for AAA Mid-Atlantic. ” It’s the easiest and frankly, cheapest way to move an entire family. That’s why we see 90% of those traveling going by car. That’s up 2.1% from last year and equates to 2.5 million New Jersey residents.”
