This Thanksgiving, nearly 80 million Americans are expected to travel over 50 miles, reflecting a 1.7 million increase compared to 2023 and surpassing pre-pandemic figures.
Stacey Barber, vice president of AAA Travel, emphasized that, 'Thanksgiving is the busiest holiday for travel,' indicating heightened travel demand as Americans seek reconnection with loved ones.
In California alone, 10.7 million residents are expected to join the Thanksgiving travel surge, with about 9.3 million traveling by car and 1.1 million opting for flights.
AAA warns that significant traffic congestion will occur at specific times, with noted peak travel days including Monday, Nov. 25, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
