Record Number Of Americans Expected To Travel

A record number of Americans are expected to travel at least 50 miles from home this holiday season.

According to AAA's projections, over 122-million are expected to travel during the holidays.

It's a two-point-two percent increase from last year and majority of travelers will likely drive to their destinations.

However, air travel will also reach new heights, with over eight million Americans flying domestically, and four-point-nine million people are expected to opt for travel via bus, plane or cruise.
