Memorial Day Travel Poised to Break Record with 45 Million Americans on the Move
USA: AAA anticipates 45.1 million Americans traveling over Memorial Day weekend, the highest volume on record. Around 39.4 million will drive, aided by relatively lower gas prices, and nearly 3.6 million are set to fly. Packed airports, highways, and rising hotel occupancy mark a return to pre-pandemic or higher travel demand.
What this means for you:
In the next 2–4 weeks, budget extra time on the road; traffic could be significant, especially near major cities.
Over 1–2 months, consider signing up for roadside assistance or hotel rewards if you plan more summer getaways.
If flying, prepare for possible security bottlenecks—arrive earlier or utilize expedited screening.
If you want to save on gas, check apps comparing fuel prices along your route.

Key Entities

  • AAA (American Automobile Association): Publisher of travel forecasts.
  • TSA: Anticipates large passenger volumes at U.S. airports.
  • Domestic travelers: Surging demand for beaches, national parks, and family visits.
