NPR - Nearly 71 million Americans are expected to travel for the Fourth of July this week, the AAA predicts. It could be the busiest Independence Day travel season on record — both in the air and on the roads. Here's what to know and how to avoid slowdowns if you're planning a trip this week:
✈️ It's vital to get to the airport well before your departure time, says
Gerardo Spero, the TSA’s federal security director at Philadelphia
International Airport. Travel volumes are up at many airports, so allow
extra time for parking,, checking your bags and security.
🚗 Drivers in metro areas can expect the worst traffic tomorrow. If you haven't hit the road already, the best time to start is before 10:00 a.m.
☀️ High temperatures and thunderstorms may slow trains and planes. Traveling in the morning or evening can offset these risks.
🚫 If a flight is canceled, airlines must offer travelers a refund or book another flight. But the rules for flight delays are more complicated. Check your airline's policy on the Transportation Department website.
