Amid widespread disruptions to air travel in the US, tourists are increasingly opting for ground transportation. From November 7 to 11, airlines canceled thousands of flights, coinciding with preparations for Thanksgiving, one of the busiest travel seasons of the year.
According to Wanderu and Flix, bus bookings are up 20-30% compared to last year, and Amtrak is expecting record ridership on Northeast routes, including Boston, New York, and Washington. Ticket prices have increased by 10-11%, but demand remains strong.
For tourists, this means they need to plan their trips in advance and account for potential delays. Despite the challenges, ground transportation has become a reliable alternative, allowing travelers to reach their destinations even during the aviation crisis.
