Summary
Nearly 80 million Americans are expected to travel for Thanksgiving, surpassing pre-pandemic levels, according to AAA.
Most travelers (71.7 million) will drive, with the busiest times on roads predicted to be Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons, especially in major cities.
A record 5.84 million people will fly, while bus, train, and cruise travel have also risen. Lower gas prices and increased international flight bookings contribute to the surge.
Weather warnings for rain and snow could impact travel plans, though Thanksgiving Day is expected to see lighter traffic. Orlando is the top domestic destination.
No thanks, especially after the election, no need to travel back to the home land haha.
I really expected less travel, with less people going to visit family.
lower gas prices?
