The turbulence caused by the longest government shutdown on record may still be fresh on travelers’ minds this Thanksgiving, but experts say preparing for the usual holiday rush of winter weather, heavy traffic and crowded airports can help ease those jitters.

Sheldon H. Jacobson, an airport and airlines operations expert, believes the airlines are well-prepared for the holiday season, and the real challenge lies in travelers taking care of themselves.

Travel forecasts predict packed airports and roads during Thanksgiving week, with over 17.8 million passengers expected to be screened by TSA.

While you can't control the weather, being prepared for flight cancellations or delays can reduce stress during winter storms.

To make airport security smoother, check all pockets for TSA-restricted items and consider packing gifts unwrapped to ensure smooth TSA screenings.

Additionally, ensuring you have a REAL ID or another accepted form of identification is essential for domestic flights within the U.S.
