Tips for your Turkey Day travel

T minus one week until Turkey Day. If you’re planning to head out of town you’re not alone. AAA is predicting the busiest Thanksgiving in years — the third-highest since 2000.

Flying?

Charleston International Airport sees a lot of travelers too. [According to] Elliott Summey, Executive Director and CEO of the Charleston County Aviation Authority, “Thanksgiving is the kick-off to the holiday travel season. With record-breaking numbers year after year, we expect to be busy this year as well.” Last year, CHS reported more than 48,700 passengers boarded planes at the airport around the holiday.


AAA reports it’s expecting the highest number of Thanksgiving travelers to fly to their destinations since 2005. An estimated 4.7 million people will take to the skies, up 6.6% from 2022. The average price for a domestic flight is also up ~$680, from last year.
Travelers line up for TSA security screenings ahead of flights.

Make sure your travel plan includes enough time to get through TSA.

Erika here. I recently took the Art of Charcuterie: Fall Edition workshop at Juliska, and it was a treat. The flagship store on King Street offers hands-on artistic experiences in the romantic arts, like Floral Arranging, Thanksgiving Wreathmaking, Holiday Centerpiece Creations, and more.

What we tried:

After entering the store, I walked upstairs to the studio and was greeted by Jacob at the Bohemian Bar. Before the workshop, you are offered a drink of your choice (I chose prosecco).

While I waited for the class to start, I admired the beautiful mouth-blown glassware displayed around the studio. (I’m coming back just for the lovely champagne flutes.) Soon after, the rest of the participants joined, and since it was a smaller and intimate class, we opted to do the workshop right at the bar. The workshop was headed by CHS Coastal Charcuterie, and after our instructor introduced herself, we began.

We first were handed our Juliska Forest Walk Gratitude Platter. The platter has a retail price of $98 and is oven, microwave, freezer, and dishwasher-safe. Next, we were given all of the ingredients + materials to build the perfect charcuterie board.

We followed the instructor step-by-step, listened to her great advice, and learned all the neat tricks to walk away as a confident charcuterie board maker. Now, I am ready to host a holiday party and show off my newfound charcuterie-making skills.

From the editor
Hello, I’m so excited to be here. Although I’m new to the CHStoday team, I’ve been in the Charleston area for a little over two years now. A little bit about myself: I’m a former University of South Carolina Volleyball athlete (Go Gamecocks.) and have spent the last three years in TV news. So now that you know a little bit about me, I want to get to know you. Tell me your favorite local coffee shop.
