Holiday Travel Season Officially Kicking Off Today

Between today and Monday, November 28th, Charlotte Douglas will serve more than 822,000 passengers traveling to, from and through the Airport.

The busiest days leading up to Thanksgiving will be Tuesday, Nov. 22 and Wednesday, Nov. 23. After Thanksgiving, the busiest days for returning passengers will be Saturday, Nov. 26, Sunday, Nov. 27 and Monday, Nov. 28. More than 72,000 passengers will travel through CLT on each of those days.

The TSA and airlines suggest travelers arrive to the Airport at least two hours before their departure time for a domestic flight and three hours before an international flight.

Here are the five most-crowded days to travel for Thanksgiving, according to the Hopper report:

1. Sunday after

2. Wednesday before

3. Saturday after

4. Friday before

5. Cyber Monday

Data show that Thanksgiving airfare rates have gone up quite a bit since last year. Traveling during the busiest days at airports can be especially pricey. The average domestic round-trip ticket for trips beginning between Nov. 20-24 is $350, up 43% from 2021, according to Hopper.

At Black Tie Car Service we pride ourselves in a private, relaxing airport transportation.

If you have family coming into town, allow us to be waiting for them at the airport. That way you can continue cleaning, cooking and preparing for their arrival.

Our professional chauffeurs track your flight, in the case that it is arriving early or late, to ensure they are on standby as soon as you land.

Despite the holiday season, and the rise in airport transportation demand, our prices stay the same.
