AAA Predicts Busiest Holiday Travel Season in Five Years

It’s the most wonderful time of the year and the busiest for holiday travel. Beginning Saturday through New Year’s Day, AAA estimates a record 119 million Americans will be in planes, trains, and automobiles, more than the previous record set in 2019.

Patricia Kuepper-Artessa of AAA Northeast says that’s only accounting for people driving over the ten day span. She says the worst times to get the trip started are this weekend and right after Christmas.
