Given how crowded airports have been this year, it shouldn’t come as a big surprise that Thanksgiving travel is going to be packed this year. But you still might want to brace yourself if you’re about to hit the road.
AAA says 54.6 million people will travel 50 miles or more this year, a 1.5% increase over 2021 and the third-busiest Thanksgiving on record since the group began tracking travel in 2000. (That's a little shy of the 2019 level, which saw 56 million passengers hit the road.)
