Thanksgiving flight bookings are just 1% below 2019 levels, Adobe data shows. And an estimated 53 million people will travel for Thanksgiving whether by road or plane, AAA data says.
Americans are traveling like it’s 2019. So be prepared for the inevitable headaches at the airport and on the road.
“‘Travel is once again high on the list for Americans who are ready to reunite with their loved ones for the holiday.’” Of the more than 53 million people expected to be traveling for Turkey Day, over 48 million are predicted to hit the roads, AAA noted. With so many people planning holiday road trips, demand for gas has surged. That pushed the average price of gas close to record levels for the Thanksgiving holiday.
So far, the worst fears about a major wave of cancellations have yet to come to fruition. On Sunday, there were only around 4,500 delays and less than 100 cancellations for flights within, in or out of the United States, according to data from FlightAware. Meteorologists had warned last week that two storm systems early this week could hamper flights.
