While hordes of New Yorkers are hitting the roads, rails, or the airport ahead of tomorrow's Thanksgiving holiday, industry experts say today's traveling is not as busy as in previous years.

More Americans are expected to travel this year for the holiday, but not as many are traveling all on the same day.

AAA estimates about 38 million will either drive or fly 50 miles or more, which is about 1.5 percent more people from last year.

About 33 million of those travelers will be hitting the road.

Airplane travel may actually be a little easier today than it has been on other Thanksgiving getaway days. Airline executives say many travelers looking to avoid higher prices booked flights for earlier in the week.

"We're having a good day here at LaGuardia Airport," said the airport's general manager, Warren Kroeppel. "The weather has cooperated, just about every flight is on time, and they are going out pretty much full. What we found is that there is a little less traffic than last Thanksgiving. It seems like a lot of people have spread out their travels across the week."

Passengers flying out this morning say it was best to head out early and make sure to leave plenty of time.

"Passengers were getting out a little earlier this year, perhaps getting boarding passes at home instead of going to the ticket counter and bringing carry-ons as opposed to checked luggage," said spokeswoman Ann Davis of the Transportation Security Administration.

"My parents bought my plane ticket and I got it early so I can be home by lunch,” said one traveler. “So that was really it. I didn't sleep last night, which is probably why I look awake. I didn't want to miss my flight and I was a little worried about the rush."

"This is my first Thanksgiving here. Yeah, I'm from China, so, I heard so much like about the rush hour in New York; it's such a nightmare,” said another.

The Port Authority expects nearly 3.5 million people to go through the city's airports, bridges and tunnels.
