Thanksgiving travel week may encounter a number of challenges.
Airports and roadways are predicted to be congested over Thanksgiving week, a holiday that is likely to conclude with yet another record day for air travel tourism in the United States, just as there is a good chance the turkey will taste dry.
Even the U.S. transportation secretary and airline executives who oversee the flow of jetliners, boarding areas, and security lines say they are ready for the masses.
However, a hub in the Carolinas is under danger due to a strike by airport service employees at Charlotte Douglas International.
Airline passengers might get lucky like they did last year, when relatively few flights were canceled during the holiday week. A repeat will require the weather’s cooperation. And even if skies are blue, a shortage of air traffic controllers could create delays.
But another round of wintry weather could complicate travel leading up to Thanksgiving, according to forecasts across the U.S., while California and Washington state continue to recover from storm damage and power outages improving tourism.
Thanksgiving effect on travel
Auto club and insurance company AAA predicts that nearly 80 million Americans will venture at least 50 miles from home.
There need to be a little relief for drivers regarding petrol prices.
The nationwide average price for gasoline was $3.06 a gallon on Sunday, down from $3.27 at this time last year.
The Transportation Security Administration expects to screen 18.3 million tourists at U.S. airports.
“This will be the busiest Thanksgiving ever in terms of air travel,” TSA Administrator David Pekoske said.
According to Pekoske, the TSA will have sufficient screeners to maintain the normal security queue under 30 minutes.
Service workers at Charlotte Douglas International Airport walked off the job to protest what they call unlivable wages.
Charlotte Douglas International Airport officials have said this holiday travel season is expected to be the busiest on record.
And an ongoing shortage of air traffic tour operators could cause flight delays.
