OHIO — The Transportation Security Administration said it’s prepared to screen more than 17 million people this Labor Day weekend.
Additionally, AAA said it expects domestic travel to be up 9% compared to last year.
The American Automobile Association (AAA) warns roads and airports will be busy throughout the weekend, with the peak travel day expected Friday. TSA also expects to screen 2.86 million people that day.
“Travel volumes have been robust domestically and internationally all summer,” said Kara Hitchens, AAA spokeswoman, in a release. “Not everyone travels for Labor Day because kids are back in school. But many people try to squeeze in one last three-day weekend to end summer, while others may take off the week after Labor Day to kick off “shoulder season” travel, which can mean lower travel costs and fewer crowds at many destinations in the United States and abroad.”
INRIX, which provides transportation data, said those traveling by car should avoid the afternoon and early evening hours of Thursday and Friday because they’ll be when roads are most congested.
Drivers should aim to hit the road in the morning, except on Saturday, when the best time to travel will be on the afternoon. For travelers returing on Sunday and Labor Day (Monday), they should leave as early as possible to avoid the heavy afternoon traffic.
Additionally, AAA is urging travelers to make sure their cars are ready for the long drive. The agency provided these tips:
