June 29 (UPI) — Travel during the upcoming July 4 holiday is expected to be a record-setter but high demand and other issues may disrupt air travel. Travel club AAA said it expects just more than 50 million people in the United States to travel more than 50 miles during the upcoming holiday, which falls on a Tuesday this year. That would set a record should the forecast prove accurate. Advertisement
AAA said anticipates air travel to increase by 11.2% from last year and by 6.6% from 2019 levels, prior to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
