Traveling over Labor Day weekend can mean navigating some of the busiest travel periods of the year, with peak congestion expected around major departure points. According to AAA, the most crowded times to leave New York City will be the days immediately before and after the holiday, as travelers rush to avoid traffic or return home. Airports, highways, and public transit systems are anticipated to see heavy use, particularly during late mornings and early afternoons. Those planning trips should prepare for longer wait times and potential delays if heading out during these peak hours.
