Thanksgiving is a holiday that makes you appreciate what you have to be thankful for while enjoying a wonderful meal with family and friends! Unfortunately, traveling for Thanksgiving can be a stressful process. It is estimated that more than 46 million Americans will travel more than 50 miles during the holiday weekend, with 12 million opting to fly to their destination.

Don’t let the stress of traveling this Thanksgiving ruin your holiday fun. Follow these five Thanksgiving travel tips so you can get where you need to be stress-free:

1. Choose your travel dates wisely: Some travelers believe the day before Thanksgiving is the busiest travel day, but many people are starting to travel 2-3 days in advance to try and avoid the crowds.
2. Travel light: Unless it is a necessity, try to travel light especially if flying. This way, you avoid the long lines of trying to check a bag and the possibility of losing your luggage.
3. Prepare yourself for airport travel: There are many ways to help avoid stress at the airport. First, check in 24 hours before your flight, since you can avoid lines by doing this with certain airlines. The day of, make sure to arrive to the airport earlier than you normally would, since security lines will be so long.
4. Get ready for the road: Traffic on the road the day of Thanksgiving is going to be heavier than normal. Make sure to plan ahead of time and give yourself at least an extra hour in anticipation of multiple slowdowns.
5. Manage your expectations: Travel can be crazy and many unexpected things can come up. Make sure you pack snacks and water so you won’t go hungry or thirsty! But overall, make sure you budget your time, keep your stress level to a minimum, and enjoy your time with your loved ones!

Safety:

According to the Association For Safe International Road Travel, car accidents account for $230.6 billion dollars a year in damages.

In order to do so, we engaged Lytx™, the leader in video-based driver safety programs.

Increased Productivity:

According to Psychology today, the longer someone commutes, they lower rate of well-being. It has been proven that driving commutes and stress level are directly correlated. The longer your commute, the higher your stress level and well-being. This is not beneficial for people who are driving to and from work. With BEST services, you can relax and find some down time on your way to and from business meetings. You can review notes, check the news, or make phone calls to better prepare yourself for whatever your workday brings.

Google is trying to make planning vacations less of a hassle. To do that, it’s launching a new feature today called Destinations on Google that’s meant to help you figure out where to go, when to go, and what to do there; it’ll also help you get the best deals on flights and hotels.

Destinations on Google isn’t a new website. Instead, you’ll stumble upon it during mobile searches for travel deals and advice. If you search “European vacations,” you’ll be presented with a grid of major cities, what it’ll cost to get to them, and the best weeks to go. Search for travel to a specific country or city, and you’ll see an option to open up Google’s new “travel guide.” Regardless of which way you get to it, these searches will lead you into Google’s new Destinations feature, which is where you’ll find more info on the location and details on the cost of getting and staying there.

Most Destination pages have two tabs. The first is meant to help you explore that location with a description, photos, and videos from around the web. Much more usefully, it also includes itineraries. One of the toughest parts of travel is nailing down exactly how long to spend in each place and where to bounce between, so Google is trying to answer that with a mixture of editorially created and algorithmically generated guides.

If you haven’t actually made up your mind on which cities to stop in, a country’s Destination page will offer several algorithmically generated itineraries based on where Google Maps has detected people traveling and how long it sees them staying there for. The overall goal, says Radhika Malpani, Google Travel’s engineering director, is to “let people explore when they don’t know when and where they want to go.”

Destination pages’ other tab is where Google will help you book your travel and stay. It’s handy, but it isn’t much more than what Google Flights and hotel search can do now. It essentially combines the two services to present you with a single price for your trip. Like Google Flights, it’ll show you the cheapest dates to travel, so that you can better plan when you want depart.
