Friday, May 26, will be the busiest day to travel with the lightest travel days being Saturday and Sunday.
This Memorial Day Weekend is expected to be the busiest for travel in four years, as AAA predicts it will be near record levels.
The increased travel comes as gas prices are considerably lower than this time a year ago. On Monday, a gallon of regular gas averaged $3.53 a gallon. This time a year ago, the average was $4.47. Out of 42.3 million travelers, most will use four wheels to get to their destination. AAA estimates that 37.1 million travelers will make it to their destination by car, compared to 3.39 who will fly and 1.85 million who’ll use other means of transportation. Although the number of people getting to their destination by car is expected to be down by 1% compared to 2019 figures, air travel is expected to increase by 5.4% between 2019 and 2023. This is despite rising airfare, AAA said.
