AAA predicts that nearly 80 million Americans will venture at least 50 miles from home between Tuesday and next Monday .

TSA predicts that 3 million people will pass through airport security checkpoints on Sunday ; more than that could break the record of 3.01 million set on the Sunday after the July Fourth holiday .

Air travelers hoping to beat the rush may encounter some difficulties at North Carolina’s Charlotte Douglas International Airport .

Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons will be the worst times to travel by car, but it should be smooth sailing on freeways come Thanksgiving Day .
