As Labor Day approaches, millions of Americans are gearing up for a well-deserved three-day weekend, and AAA is sounding the alarm on potential travel chaos. The holiday, which falls on Monday, September 1, marks the unofficial end of summer and a final chance for many to squeeze in a last-minute getaway before the fall routine begins.
Stacey Barber, vice president of AAA Travel, notes that while some travelers are opting for exotic cruises or European vacations, many are choosing to stay closer to home, embarking on road trips to nearby beaches or national parks. For those planning a domestic adventure, Seattle and Vancouver have emerged as top destinations, largely due to their popularity as port cities for Alaska cruises.
In Florida, residents can expect to share the roads with thousands of fellow travelers, as two cities in the state - although not specified which - have made it onto AAA's Top 10 domestic destinations list. The news on gas prices is a welcome respite for travelers, with summer prices remaining low. According to AAA, the national average for a gallon of regular gas on Labor Day last year was $3. 33, and barring any disruptions to Gulf Coast refineries, prices are expected to stay below that threshold in 2025.
Labor Day is Monday, Sept. 1, which means a three-day weekend for most of the country and a lot of travelers on the road, according to AAA .Other references and insights: See here
