The recent FAA approval on using electronic devices during take-off and landing is another bright spot to look forward to when traveling this holiday season.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Most\/Least Busy Airports<\/b><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Los Angeles International (LAX) and Chicago\u2019s O\u2019Hare (ORD) airports have taken the top seeds in Orbitz busiest airports rankings and 2013 marks the fourth straight year that they will see the largest crowds over the holiday.<\/p>\n<p>There were several shake-ups this year, with traditionally less busy airports seeing increases in traveler traffic. Boston\u2019s Logan International airport rose two spots to number 3, while Washington\u2019s Ronald Reagan National Airport also climbed several spots to take the title as the nation\u2019s

Orbitz also analyzed the busiest travel days.\u00a0 Similar to years before, traveling on the Wednesday before the holiday will be the most expensive day to travel with airfares on average around $499. For jet-setters on a budget, Orbitz experts suggest traveling on Thanksgiving Day when airfares average $406 \u2013 a savings of 19 percent.<\/p>\n<p><b>Know your alternatives: <\/b>Flying from smaller airports with low-cost carriers is not always the least expensive option for travelers. For example, a round-trip ticket over Thanksgiving weekend from Chicago to Atlanta cost $XX less from Chicago O\u2019Hare International (ORD) than the smaller Chicago Midway International (MDW). Travelers should always check all airport options. Orbitz customers can use the \u201cNearby Airports\u201d feature to search all airports within 80 miles of their departure and arrival destination.<\/p>\n<p><b>Dress for success: <\/b>Remember, TSA allows children 12 years old and younger to leave their shoes on when going through airport security\u2014a time-saver for traveling parents. Be sure to have your children keep their shoes laced-up when waiting in the security line and save yourself from unnecessary wardrobe changes.<\/p>\n<p><b>Smartphones are your travel companions: <\/b>From navigating to the airport, checking flight statuses and even keeping your reservations in order, mobile devices are your best friend when traveling through the holidays.\u00a0 The Orbitz App now integrates with Orbitz Rewards, and with the new \u201cZap that Bag Fee\u201d feature, customers can easily take a picture of their checked baggage fee receipt, send it to Orbitz and earn $25 in bonus Orbucks through November 30.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"nc_pixel\" src=\"https:\/\/pixel.newscred.com\/px.gif?key=YXJ0aWNsZT05ZDYwODI1Y2UxYmMzMWM4ZjE0MGFjNTA5MjhlMmRhMw==\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>O&#8217;Hare and LAX took top billings.
