If you haven’t started your Thanksgiving trip, you’re not alone. The busiest days are still to come.
According to AAA, the busiest days of the 2019 Thanksgiving travel period (the five days before and including Thanksgiving Day) are expected to be the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and the Sunday after, when an estimated 14 million travelers are expected to drive to their destinations. For an easy trip, plan ahead and stay informed about potential delays and disruption due to weather and other conditions. Be sure to fill up your gas tank and check the air pressure in your tires, and make sure you have any needed prescription and over-the-counter medications packed and easily accessible. If you’re flying, make sure to check with your airline before your departure, as some carriers waive certain fees around the holidays. If you’re driving, take frequent breaks to keep yourself refreshed and alert.
