AAA Reports Surge in Labor Day Travel

Labor Day weekend travel is set to surge, with bookings up 9% from last year, according to AAA. Domestic travel is particularly strong, with Seattle, Orlando, and Las Vegas among the top destinations. Gas prices are lower than last year, further boosting road trips. United Airlines expects to carry over 2.9 million passengers, marking a record for the airline, while American Airlines anticipates nearly 4 million travelers. Most international travelers are heading to Europe, though international travel is down 4% overall. This surge in travel caps off a record-breaking summer for both airlines and road trips.
