As the first Thanksgiving approaches since vaccine rollouts began in the United States, we were eager to dig into TripIt reservation data to see if we should expect yet another highly traveled holiday. And what we found is that冷却美国围绕三角洲变体的担忧paired withincreasing traveler optimismcould make for the most highly trafficked holiday since the pandemic began.

Tripitanalyzed U.S. origin lodging, rental car, and flight reservations made by our TripIt users for Thanksgiving travel and compared the findings to equivalent booking periods in 2020 and 2019. 

Our data shows Thanksgiving 2021 travel will be nearly triple the volume of last year across most categories, and while still not quite at pre-pandemic levels, flight (52% vs. 2019), lodging (65% vs. 2019), and vacation rental (59% vs. 2019) volumes are at the highest rates we’ve seen for holiday travel this year.

We also found that Americans are starting to return to their more usual holiday destinations and more usual stay lengths. See what else we uncovered in the analysis below.

Compared to 2019	52％	54％	44％	78％	65％	59%

One third of travelers plan to fly in the two days preceding Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving travelers fall into two groups—those that make a week of it, and those who just dip in for the holiday. And more travelers fall in the latter group, with 33% of flight departures booked for the Tuesday (16%) and Wednesday (17%)—Wednesday being the most popular travel day—before Thanksgiving. Though, only slightly less will leave the Friday (14%) or Saturday (15%) before the holiday week and stick around.

至于最受欢迎的旅行日？毫不奇怪：这是感恩节本身（只有7％的旅行者）。

尽管所有机场都可以期望忙（以下更多），但有些机场会比其他机场更忙碌：San Francisco International Airport (SFO)排名第一，其次是Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)(#2),Denver International Airport (DEN)（＃3），Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA)(#4), andChicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD)(#5).

Flight reservations hovered at around 50% of pre-pandemic levels during the holidays this past year, but for Thanksgiving they are at their highest level—52% when compared to 2019. Same goes when looking at domestic and international flight reservations separately—54% and 44%, respectively. However, when comparing flight volumes to 2020 levels, we see nearly triple the volume. This isn’t entirely surprising to us as 19% of respondents in our recent民意调查told us they were planning to travel for Thanksgiving, and nearly 50% said they were planning to fly.

虽然旅行行为看起来可能与流行前的行为有所不同，但最高的感恩节目的地看起来比2019年更像2020年。与2019年的排名相比，前25名目的地中有近一半的位置或更少，而整体排名的变化与2020更重要。大都市少校等纽约，旧金山，波士顿，西雅图等人在2020年跌落在榜单上，但又回到了2021年的平时景点。

像往常一样，我们看到了温暖的天气和冬季冒险目的地的混合。在夏天加利福尼亚，佛罗里达州和夏威夷捕获了大多数预订。但是，也许旅行者听到了request在今年夏天的彩虹州，并计划：对于感恩节，加利福尼亚的目的地（15％），佛罗里达州（14％）和德克萨斯州（7％）（7％）要求大部分国内航班。（夏威夷州长最近重新扩展了他的圣诞节和新年的情况可能会有所不同welcome）

Rental car bookings continue to cover more ground

Rental car shortages and price hikes were extreme this past summer, but it looks like they could be even more pronounced this Thanksgiving. Rental cars remain the travel mode closest to pre-pandemic levels at 78% of 2019 levels. They’ve even increased nearly 400% compared to last year!

尽管yet again, Florida (15%), California (14%), and Hawaii (10%) claim a large majority of rental car bookings, there are some new entrants to the top 25 list. Nashville, TN (#19), Palm Springs, CA (#22), and San Jose, CA (#25) appear in the top 25 for the first time in the past two years. It does seem that travelers are more likely to rent a car in warm weather destinations, however we also see some winter adventure destinations in the top 25 as well: Denver (#6), Boston (#15), and Salt Lake City (#21).

Thanksgiving lodgers eat and run

尽管our recent民意调查data表明that most of those who are traveling for Thanksgiving are planning to stay with family and friends (*65%), some are planning to stay in a hotel (*31%) or a vacation rental (*15%), contributing to the continued tick back toward pre-pandemic booking levels for lodgings (*note: respondents could choose multiple accommodation types.)

对于那些预订了自己住宿地点的人，大多数计划（土耳其）进出。

整个夏天，我们看到了10x increasein the number of reservations for 8+ day trips. We also saw that for Thanksgiving 2020, there was a big shift toward longer stays as well, with 40% staying 5-7 days and 2.4% staying 8+ days. But is the ‘work from vacation home’ trend over? For Thanksgiving 2021, we are seeing the shift back toward shorter stays with the majority (64%) staying 3-4 days, 21% staying 5-7 days, and only .6% staying 8+ days.

Percentage of Lodging Reservations by Length of Stay

	1-2天	3-4 Days	5-7 Days	8+ Days
2021	14%	64％	21％	.6%
2020	13%	45％	40％	2%
2019	13%	72%	15%	.5%

Even vacation rentals (a subset of lodging), where we have seen even stronger trends toward longer stays over the past year, have started to shift back toward shorter lengths. In fact, there is a lower percentage of people staying 8+ days this year than in 2019—5% vs. 8%. However, the majority are staying in vacation rentals longer than when compared to lodging trends overall; the majority (56%) will stay for 5-7 days in a vacation rental.

度假租金的百分比按住宿时间

	1-2天	3-4 Days	5-7 Days	8-13天
2021	7%	32％	56％	5%
2020	8%	36%	46%	11%
2019	7%	46%	46%	8%

Overall lodging reservations continue to inch back toward normal (65% compared to 2019), as do vacation rentals (59%), and both well surpass last year at close to double 2020 levels.

但是，尽管最高的住宿目的地（分别是拉斯维加斯，纽约，奥兰多和芝加哥）与2019年感恩节相匹配，但顶级的度假租赁目的地仍然有些不断变化。实际上，度假租赁的前25名列表显示，与2019年和2020年的重大行为相比。
