(This will be mainly in the SA-Aus-DFW corridor, I-35 and I-45.) Less chance of congestion, better food and bathroom options!
interstates are going to be the worst heading out. Most know the interstate routes.

the main routes heading outside the totality band will be the worst heading out right after the eclipse.

the only way of certainty is when you are about 72 hrs before the eclipse.

buffalo, Rochester Cleveland , indy, Dallas are airports inside totality. You could book differrnt airlines flights to different cities hitting eclipse time.
