How to Travel with Less Stress This Thanksgiving

Don't get frustrated - you are in the same boat as everyone else

About 79.9 million people are expected to travel 50 miles or more from home between Nov. 26 and Dec. 2 for the Thanksgiving holiday—a new record, according to projections from the American Automobile Association (AAA).

That number is up by 1.7 million compared to 2023 and by 2 million compared to 2019, according to AAA. The association estimates that 71.7 million people will travel by car over the holiday, while 5.84 million people will fly domestically. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) also predicts this year will mark the busiest Thanksgiving travel period in recent history.
