For the eighth consecutive year, Travelocity’s Thanksgiving Task Force will be stationed at the nation’s top airports, relaying pertinent travel information to holiday road warriors. Bookmark this page, and check back on Nov. 25 and 26 to get hourly updates on security and check-in wait times, parking, delays and other information relating to these top airports:

  • Atlanta Hartsfield (ATL)

  • Chicago O’Hare (ORD)
  • Dallas Forth Worth International (DFW)
  • Denver International (DEN)
  • Las Vegas McCarran (LAS)
  • Los Angeles International (LAX)
  • Miami International (MIA)
  • New York LaGuardia (LGA)
  • Phoenix Sky Harbor (PHX)
  • Washington D.C. (DCA)

In the meantime, be a smart traveler and plan ahead! Here are a few things to think about:

  • If you haven’t already booked, the time is NOW! The average domestic ticket is $393 for Thanksgiving, so consider anything less than that a good deal.

  • Recent capacity cuts resulted in schedule changes, so double check your itinerary, including your flight number and departure time, before you leave.
  • The new baggage policies are strictly enforced, so be aware of your carrier's new policy. Most airlines now charge $15 for the first checked bag and $25 for the second.
