Iowa — Roadways and airports have been crowded during the holiday periods all through this year and it looks like that is not going to ease up next week for Thanksgiving.
AAA Iowa spokesman, Brian Ortner.
That region includes Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, Missouri, and South Dakota, along with Iowa. Ortner says travel will surpass what we saw prior to the pandemic.
While the roadways will be busy, traveling will cost a little less.
Iowa has a statewide average of two-dollars-73 cents for a gallon of fuel, which is less than the national average, which is at $3.06.
In our part of northwest Iowa, gas is cheaper than the statewide average, for the most part. A check of prices at gasbuddy.com, shows that, for a change, Sheldon’s gas is actually the least expensive, at $2.38 per gallon. Boyden’s is the same price. It’s $2.46 in Sioux Center, $2.51 in Paullina, Alton, and Orange City, $2.55 in Hawarden, $2.59 in Hull, $2.63 in Sibley and Rock Valley, $2.64 in George, $2.67 in Sanborn, $2.69 in Rock Rapids, and $2.79 in Primghar.
Ortner has one word to describe what it will be like for those who are flying for Thanksgiving.
He says the flight delays, which have been a problem, appear to be getting better.
Ortner says make sure you know your options for a change of flight before you leave and have your information with you for your travel agent. If you booked yourself, have the app, the customer service line available to be able to make those changes if they would need to happen.
