“Thanksgiving is the busiest travel holiday of all. This is the time of year when most people travel. So already you’re comparing a very high number from last year. The fact that last year was a record and that we’re even going to surpass that this year means a lot.”

“Historically, you know, you’ve always been told Wednesday is the worst day to travel before Thanksgiving, and then Sunday is the busiest day to come back.”

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Aixa Diaz, AAA Spokesperson:
“Families with kids are taking off on Tuesday instead of Wednesday. And then instead of coming back on Sunday, they’re coming back on Monday because Sunday traffic has historically been just so bad. And also at the airports, it’s been so busy. “

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Aixa Diaz, AAA Spokesperson:
“We looked at that same window for last year and going back to 2019, we wanted to know how many Thanksgiving travelers were there actually for that seven day period dating back to pre-pandemic 2019. And out of all those years, this is the record year. Last year would have been the previous record. So 2023 was a very busy holiday travel year. But 2024 is expected to be even bigger. Nearly 80 million Americans traveling over Thanksgiving.”

“What Triple A is seeing is that revenge travel, that rush of people who wanted to book trips post-pandemic, that’s starting to slow down a bit. So what we’re seeing is that people may not be traveling as often throughout the year, but they’re still going on big trips maybe once a year versus multiple times a year. And holiday travel is always going to be the exception.”
