Expect travel delays as more than 55 million hit the roads, rails and skies for Thanksgiving
More than 55 million travelers will take to the roads, rail and skies ahead of Thanksgiving, according to AAA.
The top three airports with the most expected disruptions include Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport and San Francisco International Airport. While taking a train may seem easier than traveling by road or air, this is the busiest week of the year for Amtrak too. Amtrak is expecting a volume this week similar to last year's record of more than 846,000 passengers — and is deploying every working train car in its fleet to meet the surge in demand.
In Chicago and Boston, the number of passengers rose by more than 80% on those days when compared with normal volume. The best way to keep track of possible delays is to useand show up early in case of long wait times, said Amtrak spokesman Jason Abrams.
