As the holiday season kicks into high gear, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) anticipates a surge in air travel today. But seriously, what do they mean by 'expect'? We've all booked our flights ages ago. Are there really people out there showing up at airports on a whim, like, 'Hey, let's grab a flight to Orlando'? Well, apparently not. The FAA's announcement might seem a bit redundant, but let's take a closer look at what we can expect during this bustling time.
According to AAA, this holiday season is set to witness record-breaking air travel. So far, things seem to be going relatively smoothly if we take a peek at the live feed from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). It's 3 a.m., and while the scene appears calm for now, we know the storm is coming. AAA forecasts that approximately 7.5 million travelers will take to the skies between this weekend and New Year's Day. Quite the crowd, isn't it? However, it seems that a significant portion of the population – around 104 million individuals – will opt for the good old road trip.
