Thanksgiving Travel Will Be High This Year With the Busiest Day Being the Day After Thanksgiving and the Least Busiest Day Being Thanksgiving Day So Plan Your Traveling Accordingly
If you’re traveling this Thanksgiving you can expect a lot of company during the 12-day period surrounding the holiday.
Estimates say 27.3 million people will fly worldwide on domestic airlines between Nov. 18 and Nov. 29. That equates to an average 2.27 million people every day up 2.5 percent from last year. The current peak years for Thanksgiving travel are believed to be 2006 and 2007, when 26.2 million travelers flew on U.S. airlines each of those years.
The Sunday after Thanksgiving is expected to be the busiest day for air travel that weekend. If you're looking for a little more elbow room in the airport and on the plane, Thanksgiving Thursday is expected to be the lightest travel day.
