Thanksgiving Travel To Be Busiest On Record

The rise of remote work has contributed to the Thanksgiving travel period expansion.

This Thanksgiving travel period is expected to be the busiest on record.

The AAA predicts that nearly 80 million Americans will travel at least 50-miles from home between Tuesday and next Monday.

While more than 31-million passengers are expected to fly, many will travel by car.

The nationwide average price for gas was $3.06 as of Sunday, which is down from $3.27 this time last year.

At airports, over 3 million passengers are expected on each day this week with 6% more travelers than this time last year.

The higher traveling rate comes with the fourth Thursday falling on a later date this year.

The rise of remote work has also contributed to the Thanksgiving travel period expansion.
