On top of crowded roads and airports, Americans will also have to deal with inflation. FOX13
Los Angeles, CA - December 16: The departure level at LAX in Los Angeles on Thursday, December 16, 2021. The Thanksgiving holiday travel rush will come just shy of pre-pandemic levels, AAA estimates. That number is a 1.5% increase over 2021 and 98% of pre-pandemic volumes. This year is expected to be the third busiest holiday travel since AAA started tracking the numbers in 2000. During the summer, there were countless delays and cancelations on flights across the U.S.
The agency believes 4.5 million Americans will fly to their Thanksgiving destinations this year. That’s an increase of more than 330,000 travelers and nearly 99% of the 2019 volume.Regardless of the mode of transportation, Americans will have to contend with higher prices due to inflation. U.S. consumers are facing the highest inflation in 40 years, and there is growing concern about a potential recession. That isn’t showing up in travel numbers, however.
Hotels are struggling with labor shortages, another cause of higher prices. Glenn Fogel, CEO of Booking Holdings, which owns travel-search sites including Priceline and Kayak, says one hotelier told him he can’t fill all his rooms because he doesn’t have enough staff.
