Holiday travel in 2025 has surged to levels unseen since before the pandemic, as AAA reports over 44 million Americans embarking on road trips, flights, and vacations this Memorial Day weekend. Air passenger volumes climbed 12% year-over-year, with TSA processing nearly 3 million travelers on Sunday alone—shattering single‑day records.

Highways are congested from coast to coast, especially on I‑95 in the East and I‑5 along the West Coast, with long delays reported near popular destinations such as the Grand Canyon and Myrtle Beach. Travel experts attribute the boom to sub‑$3 gas prices, expanded hybrid work schedules, and a backlog of postponed trips.

Amusement parks—from Disneyland to Cedar Point—have sold out advance tickets. Industry analysts warn that supply shortages in car rentals and accommodations may persist through the busy summer season, urging travelers to plan and book early.
