Thanksgiving Travel: Record Air Traffic, Low Gas Prices, and Road Trip Savings
TL;DR Summary
Thanksgiving travel is expected to be busy in 2024, with nearly 80 million people traveling, including 71 million by car, as gas prices drop below $3 per gallon. However, air travel costs have risen, with domestic fares up 9% and international fares up 20% from last year. Despite inflation affecting grocery prices, many travelers are adjusting plans to manage costs, such as shortening trips or choosing cheaper accommodations. The busiest travel days are expected to be the Tuesday and Wednesday before Thanksgiving and the Sunday after.
