We're sure that by now, we don't have to tell you again about how today will be crazy busy in terms of travel around the US, and internationally too with people escaping from their families for warmer climes or some European culture. Thus, airports will be clogged, security lines will be long, and any little weather rumbling could possibly through a wrench into the system.

Still, we've been watching for possibly delays on Flightstats and so far, the whole country is green—which means go, which means no delays affecting airports so far today.

If you're opting for an afternoon or evening flight, or hitting up the airport for last-minute dash tomorrow morning yet, we would however recommend checking out the list of America's most and least busiest airports for the Thanksgiving Holiday 2009...
