Air travel

- Take it slow. Arrive early at the airport.
- Have snacks in case your flight is delayed.
- If you’re traveling with children, bring activities to keep them occupied.
Road travelers:
- Make sure your vehicle is road ready. Check components, like the battery, tires, brakes and check fluid levels.
- Mornings over the holiday weekend are best for travel.
- Be prepared for high gas prices. Gas prices are $1.30 more than last year.
If something goes wrong try hard not to let it derail your trip and make you forget what Thanksgiving is all about.
