WOODSIDE — Travelers hitting the road during the holiday rush can get a free ride to LaGuardia Airport.

The Port Authority will be waiving fares Thursday and Friday for riders on the Q70 bus — also known as the LaGuardia Link — which shuttles passengers from transit hubs in Woodside and Jackson Heights to the airport, officials said. 

Riders can catch the free bus from the 61st Street-Woodside and Roosevelt Avenue-74th Street stations and connect to terminals B, C and D at the airport.

For those driving to LaGuardia, Port Authority will also offer free parking on Friday at Long-Term Lot P10, which can be entered via the 82nd Street Bridge, officials said. The parking spots will be doled out on a first-come, first-serve basis.

The measures are part of Port Authority's efforts to ease traffic during the holiday travel rush, with Friday expected to be the busiest day of the season at the airport, according to a press release.
