Record Numbers Expected For Fourth of July Travel

Summer has officially arrived, marking one of the busiest travel seasons of the year.
Gas prices remain the lowest they’ve been since 2020 and 2021.
Because of this, AAA predicts a record number of travelers during the Fourth of July holiday.
The holiday travel period runs from June 28th to July 6th.
During this time, nearly 62 million Americans are expected to hit the road by car.
Air travel is also expected to reach new heights.
Nearly six million people are predicted to fly to their holiday destinations.
Other forms of transportation will see big numbers too.
AAA forecasts that about five million people will travel by bus, train, or cruise ship.
This surge marks a return to travel enthusiasm after recent years of uncertainty.
Experts say affordable gas prices and summer vacations are driving this trend.
Travelers should prepare for crowded roads and busy airports throughout the holiday week.
