  Despite the weather in Maine, tourists are not letting that damper their Memorial Day travel plans.


AAA predicts a record-breaking Memorial Day weekend for travel in Maine and New England, with an estimated 1.6 million New Englanders planning to travel, marking a 6.7% increase from last year. This surge is attributed to lower gas prices, with the current average in Maine at $3.56 per gallon, down from $3.70 last year. AAA advises travelers to prepare for heavy traffic, particularly on Thursday and Friday afternoons, and suggests departing early in the morning or after 6 p.m. to avoid congestion. Additionally, AAA recommends ensuring vehicles are in good condition, checking tire pressure, and having an emergency kit on hand. For those flying, AAA notes that air travel is also expected to be busy, with the Transportation Security Administration anticipating screening over 18 million passengers from May 23 to May 29.
