good morning to viewers in the united states and around the world. i m brianna keilar along with john berman. happy thanksgiving eve to everyone out there. it is getaway day for americans who will be hitting to the roads, taking to the skies over the long holiday weekend. travel is expected to be near prepandemic normal this thanksgiving, if you can believe that. that means millions more people emboldened by covid-19 vaccinations are on the move than they were last year during the holiday season. it s the biggest test for airlines and the industry itself since the start of the pandemic. . everyone always says pack your patience. i think that s dumb. pack snacks. mixed nuts. trail mix. i always recommend that. it s so healthy. look, you can also do fast food also. i m not averse to that.
