Commuting over Thanksgiving???

[CatfishVT9]

So this is my first year in the industry and I have a trip that ends @2010 on the Wednesday before T'giving. We have 2 flights that would get me back to Tampa that night (plus 2 into MCO as backup). Is it just a total mad-house trying to fly that night, or should I make plans to stay in ATL?

Thanks in advance,
Catfish

I don't think it would affect the loads if you are heading to England ;-) I hear they don't give much thought to thanksgiving...

Good luck -ha! ha! ha!

in my 5th year of commuting experience.....buy a ticket.

ditto, buy a ticket now, maybe you'll get a good discount this far in advance.

Buy two tickets!! Chances are the first is oversold and you will be bumped.

Just bought a ticket for the 24th 5 minutes ago...been there, done that, got stressed...

Buy the ticket, bro.

I bought one for the night of the 23rd. I think it's going to be a busy season... If you want to get home, go for the sure thing. You'll sleep better the nights leading up to the 24th.

What about commuting from HNL on Tuesday before Thanksgiving?

Somehow I got Thanksgiving off.

I'm thinking everyone will be headed to HNL, not from. Thoughts?

I think they will be going from, most people have family on the mainland.
