President-elect Donald Trump will be sticking to his Thanksgiving tradition of visiting his estate in Palm Beach.

Republican National Committee spokesperson Sean Spicer told reporters about Trump’s holiday plans Monday morning.

The Federal Aviation Administration announced major flight restrictions will be in place around Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate from Tuesday afternoon through Friday.

The restrictions cover a circle about seven miles wide, but flights in and out of Palm Beach International Airport will not be affected.

A Palm Beach police spokesperson said regular traffic patterns will be in place, though drivers may experience delays. The Coast Guard has also established security zones in the waters around the estate.

Trump has spent Thanksgivings at Mar-a-Lago for around 20 years.
