At LaGuardia Airport in Queens, most people reported their flights had been on time through Friday afternoon. However, airports are predicted to get hectic as the holiday weekend wears on.
Experts urged airline passengers to arrive for check-in early, and to be patient during long waits.
An estimated 16 million people will fly to get to their destinations this weekend, and AAA reported 35 million Americans will travel more than 50 miles.
