A record 3.1 million travelers were screened by the TSA on the Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend. Now, as Americans prepare to travel across the nation for the Christmas and holiday season, a new study is pinpointing the airport that ranks as most stressful of all.
The study, conducted by Australian travel insurance company iSelect, analyzed 50 major airports around the globe by looking at average departure delays, canceled flights, security checks, baggage claim issues and more. LARA TRUMP SHARES THE CONTROVERSIAL 'NO-WAIT-AT-THE-GATE' TRAVEL STRATEGY THAT HAS SPARKED DEBATE Coming in first place: Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey, which scored an 18.46 out of a possible 100 — making it the 'most stressful,' according to the study. The airport is 'a hot spot for travel stress, ranking with the worst check-in score our list,' the study says. The study also noted that Newark Liberty had 'the second-worst score for ease of getting to the airport our list.' It was also reported to have an average departure delay time of 21.40 minutes. It scored as the third worst in baggage retrieval. 'The new system will meet an increasing number of travelers and deliver the airport experience they deserve.' In October, construction on a new AirTrain Newark system began — a new $3.5 billion system, the airport says on its website, to replace the existing AirTrain, 'which opened in 1996 and has become outdated, over capacity and unable to accommodate Newark Liberty’s rapid growth.' The airport is in the midst of ongoing redevelopment, the site says in detail. NEW TSA POLICY TO CHARGE PASSENGERS NEARLY $50 IF THEY DON'T HAVE ACCEPTABLE ID 'Newark Airport is the front door to our region — and modernizing the AirTrain system is part of our commitment to reimagining a world-class airport that is worthy of our state,' said New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy in a release. 'Building on the transformation of Terminal A, the new system will meet an increasing number of travelers and deliver the airport experience they deserve.' Fox News Digital reached out to the airport for comment. In second place was Humberto Delgado Airport in Lisbon, Portugal, the study said.

Security check wait times came in at 69%. Coming in fourth and fifth, respectively, on the 'most stressful' list: John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City and Chicago O'Hare International. Newark Airport was also called out in J.D. Power’s annual airport satisfaction survey, which ranked 'mega' U.S. airports. The survey looked at ease of travel, airport trust, terminal facilities, airport staff, food and retail options, plus the experience of arriving and departing at airports. Newark came in last place, reflecting a year of ground delays and flight cancellations.
