For those choosing to travel for this thanksgiving holiday, a smooth ride is more than they could hope for. And so far, their wishes are being met.
While the number of travelers by air and road have increased, flight delays and road conditions appear to be moving at a rate of speed that have many travelers feeling a little more at ease. Some travelers report that traffic via road is “no heavier than normal” as those who travel by air have said that the airports “seem deserted.”
While this may be an early report and conditions may change, the current conditions seem promising as we officially kick off the beginning of the holiday travel season.

Happy Thanksgiving, Jennifer!
This is because many bums like me just woke up.
Don't care about traffic- staying home. But on behalf of travelers. Thanks!
Hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving! The roads were pretty quiet here in Houston.
Good job, Jennifer, as usual. Happy Thanksgiving.
Good tips with those traffic conditions links..well done, Jenn.
Cheers...
I was at SAN over Thanksgiving for a jazz concert, and it seemed very quiet to me.
