According to AAA, nearly 43 million people are expected to take to the roads, rails and skies this Memorial Day weekend. “Americans are eagerly anticipating the start of summer, and expensive gas prices won’t keep them home this Memorial Day weekend,” said Paula Twidale, vice president of AAA Travel. Many airlines have been able to replace 737 Max aircraft with other jets in their fleets, but that could become more challenging during the peak summer travel season. The crisis at the nation’s southern border may also impact summer travelers, particularly those who are planning international getaways. In the Washington region, the busiest travel day for drivers is expected to be Memorial Day.
