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!
