Thanksgiving Travel Predictions and Safety Tips

As the Thanksgiving holiday approaches, travel and safety concerns are prominent, with the TSA reminding travelers that solid food items like baked goods and meats can be carried on flights, while liquids over 3.4 ounces, such as gravy and wine, must be checked. The American Automobile Association (AAA) projects nearly 80 million travelers, a record number, will hit the roads and skies, advising them to ensure their vehicles are in good condition and to travel early to avoid congestion. Pet owners are warned against feeding pets Thanksgiving leftovers as many festive foods can be harmful to animals, leading to emergency vet visits. With increased travel, state patrols will be on alert for impaired driving, urging drivers to buckle up and drive safely. Additionally, restaurants like Fork & Plough and Larkin's in Greenville are offering take-home Thanksgiving meals for convenience.
