US Airways Dividend Miles (Pre-2005 America West merger) - Thanksgiving travel on USView Full Version : Thanksgiving travel on US traveladdie Sep 21, 05, 9:58 am Hi all I an trying to plan a trip to the UK in November on US and wanted to know when ya'll thought the busiest travel times might actually be in the US going and coming. Thanks in advance :p jcooke Sep 21, 05, 10:53 am I had no problem traveling thanksgiving day back 2 years ago. Real smooth. -JC Spiff Sep 21, 05, 11:23 am The busiest days are Wed before Thanksgiving and Sunday afterwards. dukeman Sep 21, 05, 11:51 am The busiest days are Wed before Thanksgiving and Sunday afterwards. I travelled on the Monday after Thanksgiving last year. The security lines at PHL were the worst I have ever seen. It took almost 2 hours to get through. traveladdie Sep 21, 05, 12:23 pm Anyone have any thoughts on also trying to upgrade with a space available certificate? Has anyone tried this at this time of year? Also, when you traveled on the Monday after did you go through Charlotte or Phl? traveladdie Sep 21, 05, 12:24 pm Uh...never mind on that last question. I see now you had traveled through PHL. Still interested in space A upgrade thoughts... dukeman Sep 21, 05, 12:38 pm Uh...never mind on that last question. I see now you had traveled through PHL. I originated my travel in PHL (not a connection). I was not heading to Europe. I departed on Monday morning on a domestic itin. Perhaps the lines weren't so bad on Monday evening. evprincess Sep 21, 05, 12:47 pm Hi all I an trying to plan a trip to the UK in November on US and wanted to know when ya'll thought the busiest travel times might actually be in the US going and coming. Thanks in advance :p Best time to travel, Monday before in the morning, Thanksgiving day, day after in the morning and the MOnday after in the evening. Tuesday and Wednesday before are horrendous but the Sunday after is the busiest. Syracuse Sep 21, 05, 4:02 pm Thanksgiving morning, before 11 am is also bad. 2 hours delay should be normal, if you have connection in PHL. A lot of cancelled flights on Wed night due to heave traffic will leave early morning first. bwelliott Sep 21, 05, 8:00 pm Thanksgiving morning, before 11 am is also bad. 2 hours delay should be normal, if you have connection in PHL. A lot of cancelled flights on Wed night due to heave traffic will leave early morning first. My experiences and understanding are that both Thursday and Friday PM are light travel times. |
