103 million holiday travelers expected to hit the roads, rails, skies and seas
For many Americans, the holidays mean something beyond giving and receiving gifts: They mean traveling to visit loved ones (or possibly to avoid them). This holiday season, AAA expects a record number of travelers — more than 103 million — on America’s roads and rails, in the skies and on the seas. That’s 1.5 million, or 1.5 percent, more than 2015. “Rising incomes and continued low gas prices should make for a joyous holiday travel season,” AAA president and CEO Marshall Doney.
