Record 28.5 million expected to fly for Thanksgiving holiday

If you're planning to fly to grandma's house for Thanksgiving dinner, you're going to have plenty of company.

The trade group, Airlines for America, estimates that a record 28.5 million people will fly during the holiday.

That would be a three-percent increase over last year.

This is due to a strong economy and low airfares.

The busiest day is expected to be Sunday, November 26, when most are expected to return from their holiday destinations.
