Family Vacations Using Air Travel On Thanksgiving Holidays

Family

vacations that incorporate air travel will see a little less people at the

airports this year.  A travel forecast by the Air Transport Association sees 37,000 less air travelers per day, which is 2% less than last Thanksgiving holiday season.

Flights have been reduced to match the drop so there won’t be many empty seats.    The Thanksgiving holiday season includes a 12 day period surrounding the holiday period.

There will be about 23.2 million air flight passengers on domestic and international air flights.  This is 12% below the same period in 2006.  Yet, passengers should see full flights because airlines are limiting the available seats because of rising cost pressures like a 38% rise in fuel costs.

If possible you may want to book a flight on days that won’t be so busy.  The most crowded days for the period are supposed to be Sunday, Nov.27, then  Monday, Nov.28, and Friday, Nov. 18.
