For the best deals and fewer hassles, it’s a good idea to either avoid peak travel days or try to depart early, when flights are less likely to be delayed.
The long Thanksgiving weekend is one of the busiest travel periods of the year, and the Wednesday before Thanksgiving is typically the peak travel day.
Thanksgiving is always the fourth Thursday in November, so this year Thanksgiving Day falls on November 27, 2008.
