The days leading up to Thanksgiving are the busiest travel days of the year, and with the stress of 2020, people are ready to get out of town more than ever before, with a mask of course. With that, there will be even more people on the roads this year to avoid crowded airports. You deserve to catch the football game and enjoy a nice turkey dinner away from home this holiday.

The Trilogy Aviation Group team of charter executives will assist you in choosing the closest, most convenient airport for wherever you plan on spending the holiday.
1. Napa Valley, California
Enjoy beautiful vineyards and country drives, displaying all of the colors that autumn brings. Not only will you get to indulge in delicious meals, but you’ll experience the most beautiful views while doing so. The morning chill and afternoon warmth make the weather in November near perfect in California. While many wineries and restaurants plan to be open on Thanksgiving Day, we recommended double-checking their special hours and menus.2. Cape May, New Jersey
Celebrate Thanksgiving at America’s first seaside resort, Congress Hall. Dinner spots sell out quickly, so reserve yours ahead of time. While Cape May is most known as a shore town, the fall season emphasizes its hiking trails through the beach and woods. Get the best of both worlds and see the fall foliage and beach waves.
3. St. Augustine, Florida
If you were planning on a beach view coming with your turkey this year, consider St. Augustine. This small beach town is full of unique Spanish Colonial Architecture. St. Augustine 27th annual Night of Lights is taking place every evening from November 14 to January 2021 this year. Get a head start with the holiday season, and see one of the most amazing light displays in the United States.

Viva Las Vegas! Vegas reopened on June 4, implementing significant changes across the whole city. We know you’ve missed the beautiful hotels, grand casinos, and excellent shopping.

The weather in Las Vegas is near perfect in November. To top it off, imagine all of the shopping you’ll get to do on Black Friday at Caesars Palace and Fashion Show Mall. Restaurants are open and abiding by the states’ 50% capacity limit as of September 21, 2020.5. Vail, Colorado
