The best and worst times to travel for the Thanksgiving holiday - MSN
Millions of Americans travel around Thanksgiving every year. That means that whether you’re driving to grandmother’s house or taking an international flight this Thanksgiving, you should expect to deal with crowds. You can minimize your holiday travel stress, however, by strategically choosing what days and times to travel.
The vast majority of travelers are expected to be driving to their Thanksgiving destinations. Major cities see the worst congestion during evening commute hours on the weekdays leading up to Thanksgiving as folks try to hit the road after work so they don’t have to use an extra vacation day to travel.
To avoid the worst traffic, head out early in the morning and try to travel on Thanksgiving Day, Friday or Saturday. Traffic also applies to those trying to drive to the airport to catch a flight, so allot extra drive time even if you’re flying this holiday season.
