There are set to be over 45 million travelers who will travel at least 50 miles from home, according to AAA.
Memorial Day travel in 2023 is projected to set a new record, with an estimated 42.3 million Americans traveling at least 50 miles from home, surpassing the previous high set in 2005. According to AAA, this represents a 7% increase over the previous year, driven by a significant rise in both air and road travel. Domestic air travel is expected to see a 5.4% increase, with 3.4 million passengers, while road trips are set to rise by 6%, with 37.1 million travelers. The surge in travel is attributed to pent-up demand following the easing of COVID-19 restrictions, with many Americans eager to take advantage of the long weekend to visit friends, family, and vacation spots.
