Travel TikTok Accounts to Mindlessly Scroll While Your Flight Is Delayed

At least you can pretend you're elsewhere.

If you're reading this, I know exactly where you are right now. You're either stuck at the airport or in traffic, wondering whether seeing your family for Thanksgiving is actually worth the travel chaos.

Like nearly every year previously, this year is expected to be record-breaking in terms of the number of Americans planning to travel for Thanksgiving (79.9 million people, in case you were wondering). It only follows, then, that roads and airports are projected to be packed during the holiday travel season, bringing a merry mix of travel disruptions.

In short, your flight could get delayed or even canceled. Yesterday, FlightAware reported that 4,762 flights were delayed in the US (today, that number is 911 so far), which is not ideal. In this situation, you have to wait and hope for the best.

To help you survive the seemingly endless time at the airport or in traffic, we put together a selection of TravelTok accounts (that is, TikTok accounts that belong to the travel corner of the platform) so you can entertain yourself, daydream, and mentally pretend you're elsewhere. Enjoy!
