What's your mode of transportation for Thanksgiving?

Poll Description

Sponsored by Kennebunk Savings Bank

For many, Thanksgiving means gathering with family and friends. It can also mean travel headaches.

AAA predicts a record 81.8 million people will travel at least 50 miles from home between Tuesday, Nov. 25, and Monday, Dec. 1. 

Of those travelers, 73 million will go by car — up 1.3 million from a year ago.  

With the federal shutdown resolved, air travel is expected to be back at normal levels — although, in this case, it will mean normal Thanksgiving levels. AAA predicts that 6 million people will travel by air, a 2% increase. (Last year, Portland International Jetport broke its Thanksgiving travel record, with 64,348 travelers, up from 54,636 in 2023.) 

Another 2.5 million people will travel by bus, train or cruise ship.
