Gas prices down, last-minute travel up for Labor Day weekend, AAA says - KFTV9
More travel is expected by driving for Labor Day this year because of the coronavirus pandemic and drivers around the country are seeing some of the lowest gas prices in four years, according to AAA.
While the automobile club is not making any travel predictions for the holiday weekend, officials do expect more spur-of-the-moment travel.
“We’re seeing a surge in families planning last-minute trips for the holiday weekend,” John Townsend, manager of public and government affairs at AAA Mid-Atlantic, told WTOP. “We’re seeing an upsurge in the number of requests for road trip travel tools at AAA, such as travel guidebooks, maps and TripTiks.”
