Thanksgiving Holiday With Better Travel Plans
By Imogen T Stubbs
Both individuals and families spend their Thanksgiving holiday
in any number of ways, but by far, Thanksgiving Day customs dictate
that it is spent with family and friends.
For some, this may include having to travel some distance and
just like with any other holiday, it can be quite draining on
the pocketbook. This can be especially hard for those who are
on a budget, but there are some things that you can look for in
order to make it a little more affordable.
Students may be the ones on the tightest budgets but you may
not realize that many places actually have discounted student
air fare; just go online and type in student airfares and there
are a number of companies that will show up.
Discounted Prices For Traveling On Thanksgiving
Many of them have very discounted prices for Thanksgiving travel,
so they won’t have to spend Thanksgiving in a lonely dormitory.
Another way to help ensure that you will end up spending the
Thanksgiving holiday exactly where you want to is by driving to
a different airport. Many times driving an extra 100 miles to
a smaller airport will result in a less expensive ticket.
Or, you may want to consider flying standby. Simply pack and
go to the airport and ask if the plane has an empty seat. You
may get a seat at a reduced price and make it home in time for
your family’s Thanksgiving celebrations.
Discount Travel Sites Online
Recently, there have been many discount travel sites popping
up on the Internet, and some strictly offer to find the lowest
fare available, helping you to make it home for that family tradition
of a huge Thanksgiving gathering.
Others may offer more of a discount if you include such things
as a rental car or hotel room. Still others even allow you to
make your own offer, which if accepted, can certainly be an affordable
way to get to where you are going so you can enjoy a traditional
Thanksgiving dinner with family and friends.
Traveling By Train And Bus
If you have to travel, but are not looking forward to all of
the hassles involved with traveling by air, you can still make
it home for the Thanksgiving holiday by taking advantage of the
other options available.
Traveling by train can be quite convenient and enjoyable, and
can reduce the stress of holiday travel. If you have the time,
then taking the bus or driving your own car are certainly other
modes to consider, yet because Thanksgiving is the busiest travel
time of the year, highways can become quite congested.
Whichever mode of transportation you choose, plan ahead and you
will make it there in time for that wonderful Thanksgiving Day
feast.

Did You Know?
What types of foods are served at Thanksgiving?
The types of food served at Thanksgiving
vary depending on where you are at. In the Southern United States
you will often find cornbread dressing, roast turkey, sweet potatoes
with marshmallows and pecan pies served. In the Northern United
States you may find ham, stuffing and a cranberry salad.
The dishes vary as widely as the ethnicities
that serve them. Different families have different Thanksgiving
traditions that they uphold. So you may find deviled eggs, fruit
pies, cornbread, deer/venison or even chicken being served.
For those brave folks you can always serve
a Turducken. Though it sounds funny it is actually a turkey stuffed
with a duck that is stuffed with a chicken and stuffing. Each
year it grows in popularity so it may not be long before you are
serving it at your next Thanksgiving Day dinner.
