Record-Breaking Holiday Travel Expected as 122.4 Million Americans Hit the Road and Skies — Orlando Emerges as Nation's Top Year-End Destination

This holiday season, AAA predicts around 122.4 million people will hit the road—or take to the skies—in the U.S. between December 20 and January 1. Out of those, airlines expect over eight million folks to fly within the country, but most travelers—close to 110 million—will drive.

All eyes are on Orlando International Airport, which looks set to break records. Central Florida is shaping up to be the country’s top spot to ring in the New Year.

Orlando’s airport expects its biggest crowds on January 3 and 4, with each day likely to see more than 195,000 passengers moving through the terminals.

Down in South Florida, Fort Lauderdale and Miami are right up there too, ranking just behind Orlando as the hottest destinations nationwide.

But it’s not all smooth sailing: Palm Beach International Airport reported over 60 delays and three canceled flights on Saturday thanks to rough weather.
