AAA forecasts that 55.4 million people, including more than 49 million Americans driving, will be traveling between the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and the Sunday after the holiday. This makes it the third-busiest Thanksgiving travel period in over two decades.
And the estimates don't even count the many Americans who are expected to travel days ahead of the five-day peak period. In all, AAA forecasts there will be 55.4 million people traveling, including more than 49 million Americans driving, between the Wednesday before Thanksgiving (November 23) and the Sunday after the holiday. "The trend is that people are still traveling in very large volumes," Aixa Diaz of AAA told CNN.
"Post-pandemic, the demand for travel just continues to go up year after year, and this Thanksgiving is no exception." Those numbers make this the third-busiest Thanksgiving travel period in the more than two decades AAA has tracked it. This year ranks behind only 2019 and 2005 and is about 2% higher than last year.The total number of turkey day travelers is even larger thanks to new post-Covid work trends. Office workers freed from sitting in a cubicle daily might have the flexibility to make Thanksgiving a weeklong trip or return the following week. "Hybrid schedules and remote schedules have changed everything," said Diaz of AA
