Memorial Day travel expected to break 20
- AAA projects 45.1 million Americans will travel at least 50 miles over Memorial Day weekend from May 22 to 26, 2025.
- This forecast follows a steady rise in holiday travel, with the previous record of 44 million set in 2005 and last year's 43.7 million travelers.
- The majority will travel by car, with 39.4 million drivers benefiting from lower gas prices averaging $3.14 per gallon, down from $3.59 last year.
- Additionally, about 3.6 million people will fly, marking a 12% increase over pre-pandemic levels and a nearly 2% rise from last year, while 2.08 million will use trains, buses, or cruises.
- These projections suggest Memorial Day 2025 will break holiday travel records, driven by longer weekends and a mix of short trips and longer vacations.
