INDIANAPOLIS – If you’re traveling for Christmas or New Year's, you won’t be alone. AAA projects record-setting holiday travel from Dec. 21 through Jan. 1, with 119.3 million people nationwide expected to travel at least 50 miles. About 2.8 million Hoosiers will be among them.

More people can travel either the weekend before or after the holiday.” About 90% of those travelers will drive, Griffiths said, including 2.57 million Hoosiers. Gas prices are lower than last year and are expected to remain that way through the start of January. AAA said demand for gas typically drops in December, when more people work remotely, and shoppers opt for online purchases instead of in-store visits. Sunday, Dec. 22, is projected as the busiest day on the roads, with peak travel coming during the afternoon and early evening hours.

AAA said domestic flight prices are up 4% compared to last year, with hotels (1% increase) and rental cars (8% increase) costing more. International travel will see a 7% bump. Here are the top domestic travel destinations: Orlando, Fla. Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Miami Anaheim/Los Angeles Tampa, Fla. Las Vegas Honolulu Charleston, S.C. New Orleans New York And the top international/Caribbean destinations: Punta Cana, Dominican Republic Mexicau, Mexico Cancun, Mexico Bahrain, Bahrain Puerto Vallarta, Mexico San Jose, Costa Rica San Juan/Puerto Rico Nassau, Bahamas Oranjestad, Aruba London, England For its 2024 forecast, AAA defined the holiday travel period as the 12-day span between Saturday, Dec. 21, and Wednesday, Jan. 1. This year's holiday travel period had two more days than last year's.
