travel on the ground or in the air would cost precious time and cash if you get on an extra long layover. david miller live in laguardia airport. we start there tonight because this past week that airport saw some of the grates delays in the country. >> that's right harris. what a difference a few days can make. this was positively an uneventful day at least when it comes to travel. that's the way many people like it. let's keep in mind this hole sdooin more than 5 and a half million people are going to travel and for today at least things did go smoothly. take a look over my shoulder you can see at one of the security checkpoints only a handful of people are in line. it can be brutal but today very few delays and cancellations not just here in laguardia but system wide as well. as for the passengers they were prepared for the worst but hoping for the best. >> i just got here.
