"The Thanksgiving travel period is in full swing. Today is the last day before Thanksgiving, which means millions of Americans will be taking to the skies to reach their holiday destinations. And myriad more will also be traveling to airports to pick up their incoming loved ones. But on one of the busiest travel days of the year, flight delays and cancellations are inevitable. Here are some tools to track delays, along with information on which airports are currently experiencing the worst delays and cancellations."
"The AAA defines the 2025 Thanksgiving travel period as running from Tuesday, November 25, to Monday, December 1. During that time, the AAA says 81.83 million Americans will be traveling by road, air, or other means, including 6.07 million by plane. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has released its own estimation, which largely concurs with the AAA's data. Last Friday, the FAA announced that this Thanksgiving travel period will be the busiest in 15 years."
The Thanksgiving travel period covers late November into early December and will be the busiest in 15 years according to FAA estimates and among the busiest in recent years per AAA. AAA projects 81.83 million Americans traveling from November 25 to December 1, including 6.07 million by air. The FAA forecasts more than 360,000 flights between November 24 and December 2 and provides daily expected flight counts for each day of the period. Elevated flight volumes increase the risk of delays and cancellations, and travelers should track flights and airport conditions.
