AAA estimates more than 2.8 million Floridians will hit the road to go on a trip longer than 50 miles between Friday and July Fourth. That is an increase of 87,000 over last year’s record high.
“Independence Day weekend appears to be the continuation of what has already been a very strong summer travel season,” said Debbie Haas, vice president of travel for AAA – The Auto Club Group.
“Although airfares and hotel rates are more expensive than last year, Americans are still eager to travel. So, expect to see congested roads, busy hotels and long lines at airports and attractions.”
