The AAA is forecasting that 42.5 million Americans will
travel 50 miles or more from home during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, a
four percent increase over the 2010 holiday. Travel in the Commonwealth will
mimic the national trend with about 1.3 million Virginians traveling for the
holiday up 3.8 percent from last year.
Thanksgiving travel has remained at a lower-than-average level
since the recession-driven decline in 2008.
