How to Survive Traveling this Thanksgiving

It’s the time of the year where we all gather around the hearth and the dining room table to get together with friends and family, which often involves packing your bags and yourself into a car, plane or train.

This coming Wednesday, when the Thanksgiving holiday weekend kicks off, 46.3 million people will travel home (more than 50 miles from their own home) to sit around the family table for turkey, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie and other holiday favorites. This is the largest migration home for the holidays since 2007 and a 4.6% increase from 2013, according to AAA.
