Many travelers are back home after spending Thanksgiving with loved ones.
"We went to Houston to see our kids and grandkids," said Cathy Anderson who landed at LAX bright and early on Sunday morning. "It wasn’t bad at all. When we came back, we got an early flight and got back just in time."
Just in time to dodge the crowds during the busiest travel day of the Thanksgiving season.
Nearly 55 million people, nation-wide, were expected to travel 50 miles or more from their homes, according to AAA, making it the third busiest Thanksgiving since 2000.
"We’ve seen the increase in people, definitely here in the US, we’re coming from Latin America, much more quiet there.”
