July 4th week will be a busy one for travelers. – AAA said nearly 71 million people will travel 50 miles or more this week, with a record 60.6 million people driving to their destination.
“Make sure you’re prepared for delays no matter where you might be,” AAA spokesperson Alec Slatky said.The worst days to travel will be July 3 and July 7. With more people having the flexibility to work remotely, it means more people are leaving earlier in the week. “We’re seeing a lot of folks taking ‘work-cations’ where they may be extending it a few days,” Slatky said.Between Friday, June 28, and Monday, July 8, the TSA expects to have screened more than 28 million people.“As an agency nationwide, we are going to be extremely busy for the summer,” TSA Federal Security Director for Maryland Christopher Murgia said.
