Memorial Day Weekend travel expected to be busier than ever

 Well, you guys, whether it's a train, a plane, a bus, or the road, people will be out this Memorial Day weekend. Some of the folks I spoke to are already hitting the road, and it says that at least 11% More people will be taking the trains to get to their destination. But many folks are opting for that old-school road trip.


I just needed a few days off. We have a six month, and it's our first trip to Cape Cod, and we're going to see our family, and there's going to be about nine kids and ten adults, and maybe for dogs, so we wanted to get there early. And getting a head start is a good thing for this family. Experts like Tracy Noble with AAA say they expect almost 400,000 Connecticut residents to travel this Memorial Day weekend. 


That's up 6% over last year, and it will be the second busiest Memorial Day on record since 2000. She says 80% of people travel by car, like the Reagan family. We're all getting back to normal. Now, experts say the reason why so many more people are going to be on the road this weekend is because of gas prices. The average price right now is $3.57 Compared to $4.68. 


This time last year, that decrease alone is prompting more people to get out there and travel, especially taking road trips, whether it's by plane, train, or car. People say that this weekend is about being with those you love, like these two brothers together, safe once traveling to Alabama while the other goes back to California, each to see family. People are trying to hold each other close and enjoy another opportunity to be with each other, and hopefully, everybody's making it travel-wise.


For those traveling on the road this weekend, experts say that it's essential to ensure your car is ready for the road. Make sure that you have your emergency kit updated. Also, give yourself plenty of time on the road, or even if you're traveling by plane, make sure you get to the airport a little early in New Haven D'Andrea Turner Fox 61 Connecticut's news station.

How airlines are preparing for record Memorial Day weekend travel

Airlines will be tested during this weekend's unofficial start to the summer travel season. AAA predicts more than 3 million travelers will fly into their destinations over the Memorial Day holiday. CBS News Chris Van Cleave explains how the flight industry has been preparing to handle the Rush. After the chaos we saw last summer, the airport had jammed freeways and long lines. The Memorial Day travel Rush is taking off. It's a lot of people. I'm from a tiny place. This is a bit overwhelming.  Since Saturday, TSA has screened over 12 point 1 million people, nearly 700,000. More than 2019, Airlines added 1000s of employees since last summer, when more than 45,000 flights were canceled. The biggest issue we have is whether an air traffic control delay is what we need to focus on. FAA staffing issues prompted airlines to reduce flying and caused delays at the Denver Airport last weekend. You were very hard on the airlines about their staffing issues. A year later, ATC is still...

Our next stop is Ryanair, located on a little island off the more prominent muskiness Island Patriots spots. The Lofoten islands are characterized by their mounds and peaks, sheltered inlets, and stretches of seashore, which make for an incredible road trip.  If the Lofoten islands have lovely beaches, yes, they indeed have.
