The venerable AAA says it’s time to “buckle-up” this Thanksgiving as they say nearly 80 million people will be traveling – up from 2023’s revised numbers. They expect a record number of drivers on the road with this year’s number surpassing pre-pandemic numbers.
“Thanksgiving is the busiest holiday for travel, and this year we’re expecting to set new records across the board, from driving to flying and cruising…Americans reconnect with family and friends over Thanksgiving, and travel is a big part of that. AAA continues to see travel demand soar post-pandemic...” Said Stacey Barber, Vice President of AAA Travel.
