The 2023 Thanksgiving travel season is poised to set new records, with an unprecedented number of travelers taking to the skies.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, in a recent news conference, highlighted the surge in air travel, noting a significant decrease in flight cancellations compared to previous years.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) anticipates a staggering 30 million passengers will navigate through airport security from Nov. 17 to Nov. 28. Peak travel is expected on the days leading up to Thanksgiving and the Sunday afterward, with Nov. 26 potentially becoming the busiest day in TSA history, expecting nearly 3 million travelers.
