More than 80 million Americans are expected to travel over the Thanksgiving holiday — a forecast that’s projected to set another record.

AAA is projecting that nearly 82 million people will travel at least 50 miles from home between Tuesday and the Monday after Thanksgiving. That’s 1.6 million more than last year’s record total.

AAA expects the vast majority will travel by car, although about 6 million people are expected to fly. The FAA says this is expected to be the busiest Thanksgiving travel season in 15 years, with a peak of more than 52,000 flights scheduled on Tuesday.
