Tens of millions of Americans are hitting the road and taking to the skies this week for the Thanksgiving holiday.
The Transportation Security Adminitration expects the upcoming holiday to be one of the busiest travel periods yet, with the peak travel days on Tuesday and Wednesday.
About 4.7 million people are expected to pass through airports for the holiday, a 6.6% jump from last year and the most since 2005, according to AAA.
Experts attribute the jump to cheaper air fares and fewer concerns about COVID-19.
