Memorial Day Weekend marks the unofficial start of summer -- and the busy travel season. JohnBDias has a look at how airport officials are preparing for the rush.
, there will be a 7% increase in overall travel this weekend compared to last year. More than 42 million Americans are expected to travel 50 miles or more from home, and 3.5 million of them will take to the skies.
"Think about last year, how busy it was because of the staffing shortages that airlines had, and people were starting to come out out the pandemic," said AAA's Robert Sinclair Jr."Air Traffic Control challenges are really the number one concern for me, as we head into summer," he said. While most travelers will be driving to their destinations, car travel is still expected to be down slightly from pre-pandemic levels, with gas prices higher than 2019 but still much lower than this time last year.
If you're traveling by car, the best time to leave is before noon or 1 p.m., as experts anticipate gridlock traffic between 3 and 6 p.m. Thursday and Friday nights.
