The unofficial start of Summer (aka Memorial Day) is this weekend along and with that reminder comes AAA’s annual travel forecast. The venerable AAA predicts that close to 44 million Americans will travel 50+ miles from home this Memorial Day weekend – an increase of 4% over 2023 and close to 2005’s record of 44 million. In addition, AAA says 3.51 million travelers are expected to fly to their destinations – an increase of 4.8% over last year.
“We haven’t seen Memorial Day weekend travel numbers like these in almost 20 years…We’re projecting an additional one million travelers this holiday weekend compared to 2019, which not only means we’re exceeding pre-pandemic levels but also signals a very busy summer travel season ahead” Said Paula Twidale, Senior Vice President of AAA Travel.
