AAA forecasts a record-breaking 80 million travelers this Thanksgiving. Lower gas prices, more flights, and increased cruise bookings contribute to a surge in holiday travel demand. Airfares are rising, but fewer international flight prices could help offset costs. AAA projects significant increases in travel by car, air, and cruise. U.S. airlines are adding 150,000 seats daily to meet demand. Travelers are warned to expect busy security lines and traffic delays, particularly during peak hours.
