Memorial Day Weekend Travel Expected to Break Record: AAA
- Auto club AAA predicts over 45 million Americans will travel at least 50 miles during the Memorial Day weekend across the U.S.
- The forecast follows lower gas prices, down about 50 cents from last year, encouraging more road trips and air travel despite economic concerns.
- Florida remains a top destination, especially Orlando with its theme parks and cruise port, and major airports like Tampa expect heavy passenger traffic.
- AAA spokesperson Mark Jenkins stated that traffic is expected to increase starting Thursday and remain heavy throughout the weekend.
- The high travel volume suggests increased congestion on highways and airports, signaling widespread activity but also urging drivers to prepare for possible delays and watch severe weather warnings.
