Memorial Day weekend travel; AAA says 45M expected to travel

FOX's Asher Redd is at the nation's busiest airport in Atlanta.
AAA projects that over 45 million Americans will travel during the Memorial Day weekend, marking a 4% increase from the previous year and approaching pre-COVID numbers. The majority of travelers, about 38.4 million, are expected to drive, while air travel is set to see a significant rise with 3.51 million people flying, a 4.8% increase from last year. Other modes of transportation like buses, cruises, and trains will see about 2 million travelers. The busiest travel times are predicted to be from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, with the best times to travel being before 1 p.m. on Thursday and before noon on Friday. Additionally, gas prices are lower this year, averaging around $3.57 per gallon, which may contribute to the increased number of road trips.
