Record Thanksgiving Travel Expected Despite High Grocery Prices

AAA forecasts record travel numbers for Thanksgiving 2023, with nearly 80 million Americans expected to travel by road and air, marking a 2% increase from last year. This surge is attributed to economic growth, declining inflation, and strong income gains. Automobile travel will see over 71 million travelers, while air travel is projected to reach 5.84 million. Lower gas prices, potentially dropping below $3 per gallon, are also contributing to the increased travel. AAA advises travelers to plan ahead and consider travel insurance due to expected congestion and potential delays.
