Between delays and bad weather, traveling over the Thanksgiving holiday can be a nightmare. This year, Travelocity is to the rescue with Twitter updates from the country's busiest airports. Their Thanksgiving Task Force is also aggregating Tweets from travelers who use their #TravelocityTTF hashtag.

Aside from the customer service via Twitter angle, there's also an entertainment component. If you're bored during your travels, tune into Travelocity's Twitter feed to find out about fun contests happening every hour. A recent post promises a gnome lunchbox to the Tweeter who posts the best picture of a plane with a flashy paint job. A gnome lunchbox sounds like a great way to transport holiday leftovers. Yummy.
