AAA: record 122 million to travel for the holidays

The AAA is forecasting a record 122.4 million Americans will travel this holiday season between December 20 to January 1.

This would represent a 2.2% increase over last year’s record high.

The vast majority – more than 100 million – will travel by car, while over 8 million are expected to fly, up 2.3% on last year.

Airline tickets average nearly $900 this year, up 7% compared to last year.

Additionally, nearly 5 million will travel by bus or train, or take a festive cruise vacation.

The top 10 US destinations are Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Los Angeles/Anaheim and Honolulu, the AAA says.

Cancun, Punta Cana and Cozumel are among the top international destinations.
