AAA estimates that 115.2 million individuals will journey 50 miles or more away from their residences during the 10-day year-end holiday travel period. This year's overall count of domestic travelers reflects a 2.2% rise compared to the previous year, marking the second-highest year-end travel forecast since AAA commenced tracking holiday travel in 2000. It's worth noting that the busiest Christmas and New Year's travel period on record remains in 2019, boasting 119 million travelers.
