This upcoming holiday weekend is set to break records in travel, as both drivers and flyers are expected to hit new highs in numbers. The Fourth of July is traditionally a peak time for summer travel, and this year is no exception, with the current summer on track to surpass previous record-setting seasons. The Transportation Security Administration has reported record levels of passengers flying in recent months, while AAA predicts a staggering 60 million drivers will be on the road. Despite higher costs and industry volatility, an increasing number of people are eager to travel following the easing of coronavirus restrictions. As travel numbers continue to rise, it is important to be prepared to avoid delays and traffic jams. Paula Twidale, AAA's senior vice president of travel, notes that travel volumes are still increasing, highlighting the trend of people seeking to get away from their daily routines.
