HOLIDAY CROWDS AT AIRPORTS AND ON HIGHWAYS ARE EXPECTED TO BE EVEN BIGGER THAN LAST YEAR

More Americans are expected to fly or drive far from home over Christmas than did last year, putting a cap on a busy year for travel.
HOLIDAY CROWDS AT AIRPORTS AND ON HIGHWAYS ARE EXPECTED TO BE EVEN BIGGER THAN LAST YEAR

Auto club AAA forecast that 115.2 million people will go 50 miles or more from home during the 10 days between Dec. 23 and New Year's Day. That's 2.2% more than AAA predicted during the comparable stretch last year.

"That desire to get away is stronger than we have seen in a very long time," said AAA spokeswoman Aixa Diaz. "People are willing to adjust their budgets in other areas of their life, but they want to keep traveling."

The AAA predicts that the holiday season will still fall 3% short of record travel in 2019, the last Christmas before COVID-19 hit the United States.

Air travel in the U.S. has already rebounded, surpassing 2019 levels.

The number of travelers going through U.S. airport checkpoints is up 12.4% over last year and 1.4% higher than in 2019, according to the Transportation Security Administration.
