Although they experience the rush in the holiday season as well, Thanksgiving is an occasion that is coupled with different events such as Halloween, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Christmas, and New Year. So you can only expect the chaos. But when you plan every detail, you can always avoid such issues with little effort.
Travel some time in advance before Thanksgiving Day

Actually, some research analysts have said that you are at an advantage if you have planned for the last minute travel as all the flights take off and land on time.

Book return flight with two or three day’s margin
When you are looking for your return flight home, it is imperative that you travel back after 2 or 3 days from Thanksgiving Day. This is the time period when you can find a good flight home from your destination, and all the processes such as immigration, luggage, boarding, security, and check-ins, will be completed in normal times. Otherwise, you will face long queues and crowds heading back almost everywhere.
