Today In No Kidding: Avoid O'Hare For Thanksgiving

Travel deal mega-site Orbitz has some news for you: O'Hare is going to be really, really busy at Thanksgiving and you should fly out of Midway instead. Of course, chances are you already knew that. And, given the way prices for Thanksgiving are almost twice as expensive as any other weekend of the year, chances are you booked well in advance and you're either stuck with O'Hare or Midway already. But in the event you've waited til the last minute (seriously, Thanksgiving is two weeks from today! Don't disappoint Mom!), Orbitz thinks Midway is the better option.

So what are the top 10 busiest airports according to the survey? Well, the same airports that would probably top the list in order or another any other time of the year.

1. O'Hare
2. Los Angeles
3. Denver International
4. San Francisco International
5. Atlanta Hartsfield International
6. Boston Logan International
7. New York LaGuardia
8. New York John F. Kennedy International
9. Newark Liberty International
10. Seattle Tacoma International

So if you're flying through any of these airports, we suggest ordering this so you'll have something to occupy you during your inevitable travel delays.
