Almost 50 million people will travel over 50 miles to be with loved ones this Thanksgiving. These travelers have much to be thankful for, given that gas prices for the holiday week are at their lowest levels since 2008. However, air travelers beware: for those taking flight from California and Florida, the average delay is longer than a half hour.
