Whether you choose to spend the holidays on the sunny shores or snowy ski slopes, expect airports and roads to be jammed packed.
AAA's annual end-of-year forecast projects that 115.2 million Americans will be on the move over the 10-day year-end holiday travel period from Saturday, December 23, 2023, to Monday, January 1, 2024. That is a 2.2% increase over last year and a 3.2% decrease from 2019 when 119 million Americans traveled over the holidays. (AAA defines “travel” as going 50 miles or more away from home, so meeting friends at a 5-star restaurant 60 miles away would count.)
