A record 31.6 million passengers will travel on US airlines during the Thanksgiving holiday period, according to a forecast by Airlines For America, an US airline trade organization. That's up 3.7% from last year.
First, you have to get there. And with winter watches, warnings and advisories lined up from California to Michigan, many people may experience travel delays.
The forecast translates to an average of 2.63 million passengers per day -- up 93,000 passengers per day from a year ago. Global transportation analytics company INRIX expects Wednesday afternoon to be the worst time to travel, with trips taking as much as four times longer than normal in major metropolitan areas.
That would be a record for the Thanksgiving period,"probably the biggest Thanksgiving period in our entire history," Cogswell said at a recent press conference at Washington Reagan National Airport.
