AAA projects that 6.54 million people from the West North Central Region*, which includes Nebraska and Iowa, will travel at least 50 miles from home during the Thanksgiving holiday period, which runs from Tuesday, November 25 to Monday, December 1. This marks a 1.8% increase over last year and continues the growing trend for Thanksgiving travel in the region.

“Iowans and Nebraskans are embracing the Thanksgiving spirit with record-breaking travel plans this year,” said Debbie Haas, Vice President of Travel for AAA – The Auto Club Group. “Whether it’s driving across the state or flying across the country, people are making time to connect with loved ones.
