After a big dip in 2020, AAA Travel is predicting a 60% increase in travelers for the 2021 Memorial Day holiday weekend.
The federal holiday normally marks the start of summer vacation and road-trip season. After a year that was anything but normal, AAA expects this Memorial Day will see more than 37 million Americans journey 50 miles or more May 27-31, thanks to rising numbers of vaccinated people and pent-up demand. AAA travels with you, so we're looking at how those millions of people are expected to travel, where and when vacation traffic may be heaviest, and what you can do to help your trip go smoothly.
