The Thanksgiving travel season is upon us and promises to be the busiest in the last 15 years. Nearly 82 million people in the U.S. are expected to travel at least 50 miles, up 1.6 million from last year, according to industry reports. The majority of these travelers will be by car, with approximately 73.2 million people expected to be on the roads, an increase of 1.8% compared to last year.
Air travel will also increase, with a predicted number of 6 million people flying within the country. Despite recent flight delays and cancellations due to staff shortages and a temporary government shutdown, airlines are confident they can return to normal operations in time for the Thanksgiving travel season. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has lifted its emergency flight reduction policy, allowing airlines to return to normal operations.
Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons are the busiest times for drivers, especially in large metropolitan areas. Experts advise traveling before noon on Tuesday or 11am on Wednesday to avoid traffic jams. Heavy traffic is also expected on the Sunday after Thanksgiving, so it is recommended to travel after 8 p.m. on Monday.
Weather could be problematic during peak travel times Monday through Wednesday, with rain from South Texas to Minnesota. On Thanksgiving Day itself, the weather is expected to be drier, although temperatures will be colder than average in many parts of the US. For travelers returning home on Friday and Saturday, the weather should be favorable across much of the country, although a storm system is expected over the weekend that could bring snow to parts of Nebraska, South Dakota and North Dakota.
