Live in Times Square. This is Good Morning America.

We're going to begin with the Thanksgiving travel rush. It's already begun, expected to be the busiest Thanksgiving holiday ever.

Transpation correspondent, Gio Benitez is tracking it off from LaGuardia Airport. Good morning, Gio.

Hey, George, good morning. Yeah, we are gearing up for a very busy travel week here. In fact, tomorrow is expected to be the busiest travel day with more than 50,000 flights

taking off in this country.

The rush is on for millions of American families.

And we're going to Arizona for Thanksgiving, so I figured I'd bring you guys along.

This morning, the great holiday migration underway.

Work has been a lot. It's been very stressful, and I wanted to make sure that I, like,

prioritize spending quality time with my family. So that's why I took the entire week off.

In what's expected to be the busiest travel season to date, AAA anticipating nearly 80 million

Americans will travel more than 50 miles ahead of Thursday. This is when a lot of folks are turning to us asking for the numbers and what to expect this holiday.

And it's historically the busiest travel period of the year in terms of passenger volume.

And the holiday travel window is expanding, many starting early.

Traveling later, it only is more hectic. It's a lot more hectic. The TSA expecting to

screen more than 18 million people through next Monday. United Airlines adding a reported 400

extra flights per day, as American and Delta all brace for the influx. Tomorrow is projected to be

one of the most congested for airports nationwide. We will use traffic flow management initiatives to deal with any straffing shortages

on that particular day in this airspace, and we expect to have some of those shortages.

All right, and we also have a live look at the roads right now from our helicopter with our ABC station,

WABC, here in New York, where you can see all of those busy roads.

But we should also tell you here that overnight Charlotte Airport workers actually went on strike just days before Thanksgiving.
