“My family called me earlier and told me there might be some bad weather coming into Atlanta, so I’m expecting probably a delay with the airport or the travel time, and we’ll just be expecting that and pack our patience,” Garner said.
As for travelers hitting the road, Daniel Armbruster with AAA Texas said there’s some good news about gas prices.
“They continue to drop. Overnight in fact, here in DFW, we dropped about four cents on average overnight. It’s sitting at $4.48 today. But again, these are the most expensive gas prices that we’ve ever paid for Fourth of July,” said Daniel Armbruster, spokesperson for AAA Texas.
Families are on the road again, with AAA reporting that driving this holiday weekend has surpassed the record in 2019.
Experts say even with near-record gas prices, the demand for travel will likely increase, even after the holiday - all the way to Labor Day.
