This year's domestic travel projection surpasses the 2019 record by 64,000 and is 3 million higher than last year, AAA said in its report. "This is the time of year when lifelong memories are made with loved ones, and travel plays a big role in that," said Stacey Barber, AAA Travel's vice president. "With Christmas Day falling on a Wednesday, we're anticipating record-breaking travel numbers the weekend before and after the holiday."
