Many travelers hit the roads, and the skies Wednesday as the Thanksgiving holiday period began at 6pm, running through midnight Sunday. At Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, officials expect to see a slight increase for the 102-hour stretch over last year, to about 1.7 million travelers moving through the airport. On the road, officials predict more than a million Georgians will travel more than 50 miles this weekend--a bit down from last year.
