Gas prices have little effect on holiday travel

“Lower gas prices this year make it more affordable for people to travel for Thanksgiving”, said Don Lindsey, Tennessee public affairs director for AAA.

Experts say some Americans might avoid mass transit altogether this year, opting to save some cash. “That’s indicative of the economy and lower gas prices”. “Lower prices are helping boost disposable income, and enabling families to kick off the holiday season with a Thanksgiving getaway”, Doney added. More than 40 percent of flights were delayed during Thanksgiving week over the last three years, according to analysis from AirHelp. “It’s never been this low”, he said. “This is just the world we live in”. “But especially those of us who are traveling for thanksgiving”.

“Always”, he said. “In-laws”.

The construction is a minor hiccup for the airport and makes things busier on their end but they assure passengers it won’t affect their travel experience. “Of course I stopped in Hattiesburg to get some because I know in Florida it’s going to be higher”.

“Wherever you can save a penny it helps”, he said. “I will definitely fill up here on the way back”, Pine said. “It’s allowing me to free up some extra money for Christmas shopping and black Friday shopping, so definitely enjoying the gas prices right now”.

AAA Travel defines the Thanksgiving holiday period this year as Wed., Nov. 25, to Sun., Nov. 29. This holiday weekend will see record rates of travel, according to an AAA report.

Johnson said, “It’s orderly traffic”. She says she thinks about ISIS and terror attacks while riding the subway almost every day. “We hit Indy at rush hour so that was a little bit rough but so far they’ve been really good”, Kimes said. “Normally they would go through their paperwork and ask you something but this was, ‘What do you do for work? and ‘Oh, what background do you have for that? and ‘Interesting, and that qualifies you to do this?'” Why would you put it on sale if people are lining up to buy it? “It’s pretty normal traffic, but I expect it’ll get pretty busy in Hattiesburg”.

Higher consumer confidence and lower gas prices mean more people are traveling. AAA says only 1.4 million will take trips by bus, train or cruise ship.
