Around 43.8 million Americans are expected to travel on Memorial Day weekend, a 4% increase on the year before and not far from a record high.
Around 43.8 million Americans will travel during Memorial Day weekend—the highest in nearly two decades, AAA projections showed on Monday in what would be a near-record unofficial start to summer travel in the U.S. AAA expects 43.8 million Americans to head 50 miles or more from home by all means of transportation over the Memorial Day holiday travel period between Thursday, May 23, and Monday, May 27, 2024.
“We’re projecting an additional one million travelers this holiday weekend compared to 2019, which not only means we’re exceeding pre-pandemic levels but also signals a very busy summer travel season ahead.” The expected high number of travelers is a marked rebound from 2020 and the following two years and signals that summer travel – and fuel demand – in the U.S. will be booming again.
