The busiest travel day is the day before Thanksgiving. Drivers are heading out and surprisingly traffic is flowing smoothly Wednesday evening, despite the construction at Newberry and I-75.
Some residents say they rather travel in the air versus fight the traffic. Airport officials say if you're traveling for the holidays make sure you something distinctive for your luggage so that you are able to recognize it. Also there's a mobile app called fly delta that allows you to track your luggage anywhere. Another site travelers can use is flygainesville.com to track where your flights are.
