Triple A is expecting 45.1 million people to travel over 50 miles from home over Memorial Day weekend, with 39.4 million of those traveling by car and gas prices expected to be cheaper due to lower crude oil prices.

The article from Yahoo Lifestyle, published on May 25, 2023, discusses a prediction by the American Automobile Association (AAA) that a record-breaking 42.3 million Americans will travel for Memorial Day weekend, marking a 7% increase from the previous year. This surge in travel is attributed to pent-up demand following the easing of COVID-19 restrictions. AAA forecasts that the majority of travelers, about 37.1 million, will drive to their destinations, while 3.4 million are expected to fly, and 1.8 million will use other modes of transportation. The article also highlights potential challenges such as higher gas prices and increased traffic congestion, but notes that travelers are undeterred and eager to enjoy the holiday.
