Thanksgiving Travel Just Got Easier. Again!

There are three things most of us can count on during the Thanksgiving holiday: food, football … and travel delays. With Turkey Day just around the corner, frustration and irritation will soon be in the air as millions of American travelers prepare to make their holiday trek. Everyone knows the two days leading up to Thanksgiving are typically the busiest travel days of the year. What everyone may not be aware of is that, for the 11th consecutive year, Travelocity's Thanksgiving Task Force will be providing live updates and breaking news to travelers from some of the busiest airports in the United States.


Thanksgiving Task Force spotters will be on hand from sun up until sun down on November 23rd and 24th, delivering information on security lines, weather delays, flight updates, etc. While Travelocity's spotters cannot shift a blizzard's path or give Uncle Ted a heads up that 20-year-old brandy cannot be carried through security, their tips and insight can alert travelers about new TSA rules, advise on when to arrive at the airport, provide tips on items that need to be packed instead of checked and make suggestions on what to do if your flight is delayed or canceled.

Headaches while traveling might be inevitable, but why not rely on our veteran Thanksgiving travel experts to help you out? You can find them on Twitter, too, where they’ll be tweeting observations from the U.S. airports listed below.
