Almost 3% of Americans Will Fly Out of State for the Thanksgiving Holiday According to ValuePenguin.com Survey

NEW YORK, Nov. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- For some, it may seem strange to think about flying out of state or traveling to the home of someone else for Thanksgiving plans in light of the pandemic. However, not everyone will be staying put for the holiday.

We surveyed more than 2,000 people about their thanksgiving plans and who they will be spending time with during the pandemic. Almost half of Americans took the coronavirus into account when making plans, but not everyone.

Key findings:

    --  Only 3% of Americans plan to fly to another state over the Thanksgiving
        holiday. The majority (59%) are staying home, while 19% are driving to
        another city within their state.
    --  Coronavirus risk was the major deciding factor for making Thanksgiving
        plans, according to 49% of consumers. The next most popular
        consideration was what their family wants to do (41%), followed by
        traditions (31%).
    --  57% of Americans will celebrate Thanksgiving with people they do not
        live with. Notably, 22% of Gen Z will see their grandparents in-person,
        as will 11% of millennials (7% overall).
    --  4 in 10 respondents said they expect arguments at the dinner table this
        Thanksgiving. Of that group, most (40%) think politics will be the
        cause.
