July 4th Travel: By the Numbers

[admin]

Traveling this week for the holiday? Way to be original. According to AAA, a record 46.9 million people will be hauling 50 miles or more—up more than 5% since last year.

More numbers you need to know:

• $171: The average cost of a round-trip flight (along the top 40 domestic routes). If that sounds cheap...it is. It's the lowest July 4th-week airfare in five years.
• 2x: If you plan on hitting the road in D.C., NYC, or Los Angeles Tuesday afternoon, expect your travel time to at least double.
• 11%: The increase in mid-tier hotel prices from last year.
• 362,000: The number of stranded motorists AAA expects to help. Issues include dead batteries, flat tires, and lockouts.
• #1: The top domestic destination? Orlando, FL. And the top spot goes to Rome for international travel.
