Hi, welcome to Rawson in 60. We're gearing up for the busiest travel season of the year and of course I want to help you with inside information when I get it and I got some including when the busiest travel day will be and you're gonna be surprised this one's changing from last year. All I need is 60 seconds or less. We have the clock here to keep me honest. Let's start the clock. The travel app hopper says 70% of us have travel plans for just thanksgiving alone 70% of us. But get this in the years past. The busiest travel day before the holiday was always the Wednesday or Tuesday before thanksgiving makes sense this year it's changing, we're going on vacation earlier. It's going to be the sunday before thanksgiving 3.3 million people travel on the sunday before thanksgiving. We're gonna make *** week of it bank on the longest line of potential delays on that day and what airports are gonna be the busiest Atlanta Dallas Fort Worth and Denver. So just remember book the first flight out if you can, it will be the least likely to get canceled or delayed. That's all for today. Happy Turkey, back to you
