Many of us will be traveling to visit loved ones this holiday season. In fact, AAA predicts this year will be the third busiest for Thanksgiving travel since 2000, when the organization began tracking these statistics. Whether you plan to drive or fly, you can expect traffic, delays, and possibly hot-tempered travelers. Better Business Bureau (BBB) advises consumers to plan ahead when traveling this holiday season.
“Despite higher gas prices and airfares, there will be extra levels of congestion on the roads and in the air this holiday season,” Mechele Agbayani Mills, President and CEO of BBB Serving Central East Texas said. “So it’s very important to plan ahead, as it won’t likely be the most wonderful time of the year for traveling.”
If you’re planning on traveling this holiday, BBB offers the following tips to help keep your holiday safe and stress free.
