Thanksgiving

📣 Hinweise für Reisende

Travel destinations across the United States are diverse, including major metropolitan areas (e.g., Manhattan, Chicago), natural sites (e.g., Yellowstone, Alaska), and coastal regions (Florida, Southern California).

• Federal offices, banks, and post offices are typically closed, though private businesses may remain open.
• If the holiday falls on a weekend, observances may shift to the nearest weekday.
• Expect significant crowds, delays, and increased activity at transportation hubs, roads, and retail centers during the general holiday season.
• Allow extra time for travel due to increased holiday traffic.
• When attending private meals, ask the host what contributions are needed. At shared meals (potlucks), confirm food items with the host. While cutlery is generally acceptable, hand-eating is common for finger foods. For leftovers, it is best practice to use 'to go' service at establishments.
