- 0:51Speaker 2: they're saying it again. Record eighty one point eight million
- 0:55Speaker 2: Americans will be traveling during this Thanksgiving holiday, and a
- 0:59Speaker 2: bunch of those are going to be on the road,
- 1:01Speaker 2: So not just flying out, but also driving. So kabby,
- 1:05Speaker 2: do you want to know the busiest days for driving?
- 1:08Speaker 2: If you're traveling to see relatives or friends for Thanksgiving.
- 1:12Speaker 1: It's probably not Wednesday anymore, right, is it more Tuesday?
- 1:15Speaker 2: It's now Tuesday and Wednesday before Thanksgiving?
- 1:18Speaker 1: Oh, two days, so we're getting our roads.
- 1:20Speaker 2: Jump start right. Peak traffic time from noon to nine
- 1:24Speaker 2: pm on Tuesday, eleven am to eight pm on Wednesday,
- 1:29Speaker 2: which is quite a stretch.
- 1:30Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So leave Monday now it used to be Monday.
- 1:33Speaker 1: Leave Wednesday, then leave Tuesday. Just leave Monday.
- 1:36Speaker 2: Now did you go to work on Monday?
- 1:37Speaker 1: Shousheit? The whole week off.
- 1:38Speaker 2: Just take the week off you can. Thanksgiving Day itself
- 1:41Speaker 2: is actually one of the better days to travel. They
- 1:43Speaker 2: say that for flying as well.
- 1:44Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, that makes sense, Like if you is most
- 1:46Speaker 1: people at their destination by thirsdi.
- 1:48Speaker 2: Yeah, we do a lot of driving on Thanksgiving Day, okay,
- 1:51Speaker 2: that's us. And traveling home on Friday or Saturday, you
- 1:53Speaker 2: want to avoid being on the road from one pm
- 1:56Speaker 2: to seven or eight pm. That's when it's going to
- 1:59Speaker 2: be busiest. That's traveling home. Roads are also expected to
- 2:02Speaker 2: be busy on Sunday, and Monday after Thanksgiving.
- 2:05Speaker 1: You know, two weeks off everybody.
- 2:07Speaker 2: Again, we're extending as much as we can. Yes, we're trying,
- 2:11Speaker 2: as you see, we're shifting to Tuesday and Monday, trying
- 2:14Speaker 2: to avoid the traffic. But there's just a lot of
- 2:17Speaker 2: us out there.
- 2:17Speaker 1: Hey, the family and I are traveling at We have
- 2:19Speaker 1: a three o'clock flight next Wednesday to Orlando.
- 2:22Speaker 2: Oh wait, I lost track. I thought you were going
- 2:24Speaker 2: to go to Virginia.
- 2:25Speaker 1: No, we're doing Orlando to use some friends down there
- 2:27Speaker 1: that live near Disney. So we're flying down there and
- 2:30Speaker 1: they're hosting. But I've flown on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving before,
- 2:34Speaker 1: and this maybe five years ago. And I remember walking
- 2:37Speaker 1: maybe six years ago before the pandemic, remember walking into
- 2:40Speaker 1: the airport expecting it to be a fiasco because of
- 2:44Speaker 1: what the news says, right, and it wasn't that bad.
- 2:46Speaker 2: Oh that's good.
- 2:47Speaker 1: I probably have just jinxed myself next Wednesday. But I
- 2:50Speaker 1: remember being like, what, this is the busiest travel day
- 2:52Speaker 1: of the year. Pretty good anymore.
- 2:54Speaker 2: So they're efficient. They bought it down.
- 2:56Speaker 1: Maybe I think I do think that happens a lot,
- 2:58Speaker 1: like they prepare for all the people that I think
- 3:01Speaker 1: that might help.
- 3:02Speaker 2: They may put extra yeah, extra people.
- 3:04Speaker 1: Out pretty effortlessly. Last time, I did it nice. Well.
- 3:06Speaker 2: I hope it goes smoothly again.
- 3:07Speaker 1: Thank you very much
