With more places reopening, AAA is expecting a big travel Memorial Day weekend.
More than 37 million Americans are planning on driving 50 or more miles this upcoming weekend.
That’s up nearly 60 percent from last year, when the pandemic caused many Americans to stay put for the holiday.
However, the travel numbers are still down from where they were pre-pandemic. AAA says in 2019, there were about 43 million Americans that traveled for Memorial Day—up about six million from this year’s projection.
