Taking airplane rides for a long weekend just so you can eat turkey and stuffing with your Great Aunt Tilly is a first world colonialist luxury which only extremely highly privileged persons can afford to do in the first place.
And, it's terrible for the environment, adding huge amounts of carbon to the atmosphere, and increasing the severity of climate change.
If society wants to better provide for the less fortunate and disadvantaged, it starts by rationing unnecessary luxuries of the wealthy.
And, yes, if you can afford to fly on an airplane somewhere for Thanksgiving weekend, you are privileged and wealthy.
