5 Key Statistics For The Busiest Travel Weekend Of The Year

The holidays are approaching us at break-neck speed and the roads, gas pumps and airports are providing the proof.

1.  Nearly 32 million automobile travelers are expected to hit the road. Travel by car is rated as the number 3 worst way to travel during the holiday weekend, but still remains as one of the most popular ways to get to "Dad's Famous Fried Turkey".

2.  Pump Your Own Gas At The Average Price Of $2.23/gallon

All though the roads are busy and many families are car-pooling, gas pumps are still not giving ride-share or buy-in-bulk discounts but are remaining consistent in average fuel cost.

3.  Congratulations to the Southeast

Our Southeasterners have the highest stats for the "Most Auto Travelers In The United States" for Thanksgiving. AAA is reporting that outrageous gas prices are not discouraging these folks.

4.  ATL has the Stats in the Busiest Airport Category

Atlanta, Georgia has the busiest airport around reports the FAA. Although several airports across the country have adapted the new CLEAR security checkpoint for travelers, ATL has taken it's own measures to speed up the process of security checks while maintaining and ensuring passenger safety.

5.  Don't bring your favorite drink from home

As TSA is working to lighten airport security policies, you still can' bring your favorite drink on board your holiday flight. Statistics show that many travelers are still unclear of the cans and cant's while flying during the holidays.

With all the excitement surrounding the holiday travel, be sure that you never leave your luggage unattended.

Happy Holiday Travels,
