I normally love planning my travel down to the little details. It’s exciting to decide in advance where to eat and how to get there, and make sure I don’t miss out on any must-see sights and attractions.

Now, the race is on to get air travel back on track, with just over a week to go until the unofficial start of the Thanksgiving travel rush — and the stakes are high. Airlines are expecting to fly a record-setting 31 million…
