  • 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.
