AAA estimates that approximately 55 million travelers will be hitting the road, rails or skies this Thanksgiving holiday. According to AAA the Thanksgiving travel numbers are near pre pandemic levels. During the busy Thanksgiving travel period, expect increased traffic on major roadways. If you are traveling by air, expect long lines at check in areas and security checkpoints. If traveling by rail, expect limited seating aboard trains and crowded platforms. As with any holiday travel time, allow for additional time and some extra patience.
The latest AAA data provides hope that the travel industry is slowly but surely recuperating from the reductions in travel caused by the pandemic. More Information on 2022 thanksgiving travel data available from AAA newsroom and AAA.
