AAA predicts record-setting holiday travel

(CNN)– If you’re flying this Christmas expect some crowds at the airport.

AAA predicts record-setting air travel during the Christmas and New Year’s travel periods.

Airports could see about seven-and-a half-million passengers between Saturday, Dec. 22 and Monday, Jan. 1.

The roads are expected to be busy this year.

In total more than 115 million Americans will likely travel over the 10-day period.

That’s up two-and-a-half-million from last year.

AAA says the fact that Christmas and New Year’s Days are falling on a Monday will likely increase the number of travelers.
