But for millions of Americans, travel is not. Rising U.S. coronavirus cases, a new round of state lockdowns and public health guidance discouraging trips are dampening enthusiasm for what is usually the biggest travel period of the year. In 2019, a record 26 million passengers and crew passed through U.S. airport screening in the 11-day period around Thanksgiving. This year, the U.S. government isn't even providing a forecast for air travel because things are so uncertainties. Inside Chicago's O'Hare International Airport over the weekend, there were enough pre-holiday travelers to create lines not seen for months.Joshua Holman and his family were planning to fly to Lake Tahoe and spend Thanksgiving with his brother who lives in California, and his parents, who live in North Dakota. But spiking coronavirus cases convinced them to scrap those plans.Bradley Carr and his wife, retirees who live in Griffin, Georgia, were debating whether to drive 35 miles north to his son's house for Thanksgiving and eat at a separate table on the porch. But after the CDC's announcement, they decided to stay home. And Carr's son will deliver their meal, instead.This year, AAA expects 47.8 million people to travel by car for Thanksgiving.
