the Thanksgiving rush
Heading to Grandmother’s house
for Thanksgiving? Plan ahead for
the year’s busiest travel time.
TIMING: Leave on Tuesday or on
Thanksgiving morning, and avoid
Wednesday, which is invariably the
heaviest travel day of the year. On
your return, travel on Saturday or
Monday, not Sunday.
FLYING: Book a non-stop flight,
because connections increase your
chances of delays. And take the first
flight of the day. Statistically, it is
more likely to arrive on time.
Check in earlier than usual, be
cause crowds and overbookings are
inevitable. To avoid getting stuck
at a TSA security checkpoint, check
out its website for average airport
wait times (waittime.tsa.dhs.gov).
And take a carry-on bag to avoid
luggage delays.
DRIVING: Get an E-ZPiass tran
sponder or a similar device to zip
through tollbooths. Rental car com
panies like Hertz offer them for a
few dollars a day plus tolls. And
GPS can help you navigate second
ary roads and avoid highway con
gestion. Avis and Budget offer the
Where 2 navigation system, which
can warn you of traffic jams and
weather delays, a
