With Thanksgiving travel up, crowds expected on roads and at Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport
It's going to be crowded on the roads, at the airports, and on the rails, too. More than 54.3 million people nationwide will be making a trip of 50 miles or more during the Thanksgiving holiday period from Wednesday to Sunday, according to AAA and INRIX, a global transportation analytics company. That's 2.5 million more travelers than last year and the most since 2005. "Thanksgiving is one of the busiest holidays for road trips, and this year will be no different," said Trevor Reed, a transportation analyst with Kirkland, Wash.-based INRIX. To beat the travel holiday rush, Adam Markovich and his wife, Amber, of Maple Grove, and two young children, boarded a flight for Indianapolis on Tuesday morning when it was still calm at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.

(The No. 1 airport in the land was Indianapolis International Airport in Indianapolis, Ind.) CNT wrote that the midsized Connecticut airport has become “an attractive alternative to flying out of New York’s and Boston’s monster hubs” due to its variety of flights, on-site parking, free WiFi, generous amount of charging stations, restaurant options, and relaxed atmosphere. “More travelers are discovering Hartford, Connecticut’s airport—now New England’s second-busiest airfield after Boston Logan—thanks to a wide spate of flight choices, including Aer … [Read more...] about This New England airport is among the best in America, and it might not be the one you think
