As far as duration of travel, Skyscanner found that the most common itineraries are those lasting four and seven days. This is an interesting data point as it shows travelers are more and more inclined to extend their travel during this time of year. In addition, rather than analyze which airports are expected to receive the most traffic overall during Thanksgiving, Skyscanner created a day-by-day breakdown to show which airports are expected to be busiest and which travelers may want to consider avoiding throughout the entire holiday week. (Note: Seattle, you’re in trouble).
“The best time to book travel is not only about finding the best fare but also about being prepared for what can undoubtedly be an overwhelming time for air travel,” said Randi Wolfson, Head of Communications for the Americas, Skyscanner. “Our data answers the questions on the minds of most travelers in order to facilitate the booking process as well as the travel experience itself.”
