00:00 Brace yourselves for a holiday travel season that could be even more hectic and expensive
00:05 than the last.
00:07 According to a recent "near-the-wallet" survey by the Harris Poll, half of Americans will
00:12 travel for at least one of the winter holidays, surpassing last year's 44%.
00:18 Anticipate the Sunday after Thanksgiving to be the peak travel day, following the trend
00:23 of 2019, 2021 and 2022, based on TSA data.
00:29 While 40% plan to travel for December holidays, 29% for Thanksgiving and 19% for New Year's,
00:37 the survey unveils that 39% won't spend money on holiday travel, with 11% undecided.
00:44 Reasons for not traveling range from local family gatherings to financial constraints.
00:49 For those navigating peak days, expect longer security lines and crowded airports.
00:54 Enter TSA PreCheck, Airline Elite status, or even opt for a quieter holiday at home,
01:01 especially if you thought last winter holiday travel season was costly and chaotic.
01:06 The best is yet to come.
