Highs and lows of Thanksgiving travel

Going up 38.4 million Americans will travel 50 or more miles from home over the Thanksgiving holiday, a 1.4 percent increase over last year, according to AAA. (that's me :))

33.2 million will travel by auto, a 2.1 percent increase. (that's me :))

2.9 million will travel by other means, including trains, watercraft and buses, a 1.2 percent increase. (not me)

Heading down 2.3 million will travel by air, a 6.7 percent decline. Only 6 percent of travelers will fly. (not me :))

Why? The decrease reflects a decadelong trend. Since 2000, the number of Americans traveling by air for the Thanksgiving holiday has dropped 62 percent, according to AAA. (not me - thank goodness!)
