SAN DIEGO – The holiday travel rush is starting and people are gearing up for some of the busiest travel days of the year.
While San Diego International Airport is nothing compared to other busy international airports, travelers are still planning just in case.
According to TripAdvisor, San Diego is projected to be one of the top 10 destinations in the country to travel to this season.
However, the Transportation Security Administration says the travel rush hasn’t started here yet.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday are expected to be the busiest flying days.
Adding that the day after Christmas, people should be prepared to witness pre-pandemic travel numbers.
“Overall travel for this holiday season is expected to be 4% higher than last year and only 1% lower than what we saw in 2019,” said Doug Shupe with AAA.
AAA said those hitting the highways should expect 8.1 million people on the road.
“We want this holiday to be remembered for the delicious holiday foods and gifts that are exchanged, not for the tragedy that could have been so easily prevented,” Shupe said.
To save yourself a headache, officials advise vacationers to arrive three hours before their flight — even if you’re flying domestically.
For those taking a road trip, obey the speed limit and don’t drink and drive.
