The Air Transport Association of America is estimating that 25 million passengers will travel all across the world during the Thanksgiving holiday. Airlines expect that with the 3 percent increase of travelers over last year, planes will be more than 80 percent full from today to Nov. 28, with Nov. 26 and 27 being the busiest. Given the new security measures the ATA recommends familiarizing yourself and your family with the TSA?s guidelines for smoother travel.

Dr. Michael Zimring, director for the Center of Wilderness and Travel Medicine at Mercy Medical Center, and author of “Healthy Travel,” says that one of the most important things about traveling is to remember to stay hydrated.
