Thanksgiving week is one of the most hectic times to find yourself in an airport. In 2023, the TSA recorded the Sunday after the holiday as its busiest day in history - although that number was since topped this past summer. If you're one of those millions of travelers taking to the skies the last week of November, expect longer-than-average security lines and crowded gates.
To manage holiday travel better, consider booking morning flights, which statistically have fewer delays. Also, traveling with just a carry-on suitcase eliminates waiting at the bag drop-off and at baggage claim, which significantly streamlines your travel experience.
Starting to plot out what you’re bringing at least a week before your trip makes the packing process infinitely easier. This allows thoughtful consideration of each item and every use case, particularly beneficial for stressful holiday trips.
