Multiple scary airline incidents are raising concerns as the busy holiday travel season approaches. NBC's Tom Costello reports for TODAY.
Almost 80 million people will hit the roads and airways this Thanksgiving, with traveler numbers surpassing pre-pandemic levels, the AAA predicts. Journeys of 50 miles or more will be made by 79.9 million people in the holiday period — an increase of 1.7 million from last year and 2 million more than in 2019. For the first time, the AAA's annual prediction includes the Tuesday before and Monday after Thanksgiving to better reflect people's traveling habits.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, AAA cites data from transport analysts at INRIX, showing that Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon will be the busiest times on the roads — but Thanksgiving day itself is 'typically clear.' Bob Pishue, a transportation analyst at INRIX, said drivers should pay close attention to traffic apps and local news alerts.
