NEW YORK, Nov. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- For some, it
may seem strange to think about flying out of state or traveling to
the home of someone else for Thanksgiving plans in light of the
pandemic. However, not everyone will be staying put for the
holiday.
We surveyed more than 2,000 people about their thanksgiving
plans and who they will be spending time with during the pandemic.
Almost half of Americans took the coronavirus into account when
making plans, but not everyone.
Key findings:
- Only 3% of Americans plan to fly to another state over the
Thanksgiving holiday. The majority (59%) are staying home,
while 19% are driving to another city within their state.
- Coronavirus risk was the major deciding factor for making
Thanksgiving plans, according to 49% of consumers. The
next most popular consideration was what their family wants to do
(41%), followed by traditions (31%).
- 57% of Americans will celebrate Thanksgiving with people
they do not live with. Notably, 22% of Gen Z will see
their grandparents in-person, as will 11% of millennials (7%
overall).
- 4 in 10 respondents said they expect arguments at the dinner
table this Thanksgiving. Of that group, most (40%) think
politics will be the cause.
