Whether you’re traveling home by train, plane or automobile, it’s going to be a tough trip.

The Washington Post is reporting that while most airports are not expecting crowds — overall travel in D.C. is expected to be down 5 percent from last year — BWI “expects 8 percent more holiday travelers this year compared with a year ago.” The airport is telling people to be in the terminal 90 minutes before their flight, but on the bright side, free internet will be offered by Google through January.

Driving isn’t expected to be much better. According to WTOP, drivers going through “the northeast part of Maryland or to the Eastern Shore… are likely to pass through a toll booth, along with 2.7 million other drivers,” on Wednesday. The Maryland Transportation Authority is recommending traveling in 0ff-peak hours, before 7 a.m. and after 10 p.m. Another deterrent — D.C.-area gas prices are up, Washington Business Journal is reporting. Regular gas is “$2.64-3/10ths in the metro area on Monday — up 5.6 cents from a month ago and 67 cents from a year ago,” reflecting the “recent upward trend in crude-oil prices and the weak dollar.”

The day before Thanksgiving is also the most traveled day for Amtrak; according to a Nov. 16 press release, 125,000 people are expected to take a train. Amtrak recommends travelers arrive 45 minutes before the scheduled departure. On the bright side, Amtrak has cut some fares by 25 percent, making “one-way tickets between Washington and New York as low as $49,” according to Washington Business Journal.
