NEW YORK — With the unofficial start of summer almost here -- AAA projects 42.3 million Americans will travel 50 miles or more from home this Memorial Day weekend, a 7% increase over last year.
"This is expected to be the third busiest Memorial Day weekend since 2000," Paula Twidale, senior vice president of AAA Travel, said in a statement."This summer travel season could be one for the record books, especially at airports."
Berg told ABC that last-minute domestic airfare is averaging $275 per ticket -- about $100 cheaper than last year and about 6% lower than pre-pandemic Memorial Day weekend ticket prices. "The big shocker is airfare to Europe right now," Berg said."For those travelers who did plan an international getaway to Europe over Memorial Day weekend, they're paying the highest fares that we've seen in more than five years."Car travel this holiday will be up from last year. AAA projects 37.1 million Americans will hit the roads over Memorial Day weekend -- a 6% increase from last year.
Drivers will also see lower gas prices heading into the holiday weekend. According to the Energy Information Administration , prices averaged $3.53 a gallon last week. The same time last year, the national average was over $4 a gallon. And domestic travelers will have it cheaper than international travelers. Hotel prices in the U.S. are 15% cheaper than international rates, according to Hotels.com.For those looking to take a last-minute trip over the upcoming three-day weekend, experts say there's still time to make plans.
