Memorial Day Weekend kicked off the summer vacation season and the season for summer travel as well. Highway traffic and airport volumes are both expected to return to pre-pandemic levels, and experts are urging travelers to be prepared for crowds as they head out.
The Transportation Security Administration says more travelers passed through airports this Memorial Day Weekend than in the same holiday period before the pandemic. In New Jersey, road trips were most favored, with a predicted 7% increase compared to pre-pandemic levels.
Tracy Noble, a spokesperson for AAA Mid-Atlantic, explains what is likely in store for summer travelers.
