We are still a few days away from the start of the holiday season but the push to get to your Thanksgiving destination is already in full swing.
More than 80 million Americans are expected to travel for the holiday which would break records.
Airport congestion is expected to pick up on Tuesday and Wednesday, particularly as wet and stormy weather bears down on the East Coast for Thanksgiving Day.
Travel experts recommend traveling early to account for delays and having a backup plan in case of expected cancellations.
Port Authority of New York and New Jersey officials are also bracing for a record-breaking number of travelers this week, particularly at JFK and LaGuardia Airports.
