"Americans reconnect with family and friends over Thanksgiving, and travel is a big part of that," Barber said. "AAA continues to see travel demand soar post-pandemic with our members looking for new adventures and memorable vacations."
AAA projects that nearly 72 million people will travel by car over the holiday, a little over 1 million more on the road than last year and also more than before COVID-19 pandemic began.
Lower gas prices this year may influence Americans to hit the roads for the holiday... prices that could fall below $3 a gallon before Thanksgiving for the first time since 2021.
About 6 million Americans will travel by plane within the U.S., a 2% increase from last year and nearly 11% increase since 2019, according to the organization.
