Labor Day weekend is approaching, with AAA projecting a 9% increase in holiday travel from last year. As Americans prepare to hit the roads and airports, AAA Idaho is offering tips to help navigate the crowds. Gas prices are favorable for Idaho drivers, with the state’s average price for a gallon of regular at $3.60.
Popular destinations for Idahoans this Labor Day include Anaheim, Las Vegas, Salt Lake, Orlando, and Seattle. Alaska cruises are also a top choice, with travelers looking to enjoy the last of the summer weather and wildlife sightings.
AAA advises travelers to arrive at the airport at least two hours ahead of their flight and pack essential items in their carry-on bag. For road trips, it’s recommended to check your vehicle’s fluid levels and tire pressure before hitting the road. AAA will respond to 307,000 requests for roadside assistance over the holiday weekend.
As the 100 Deadliest Days, the period between Memorial Day and Labor Day known for increased fatal crashes, come to an end, AAA reminds drivers to exercise caution and avoid distractions behind the wheel. Remember to wear your seat belt and avoid speeding or driving while impaired.
For last-minute travel details, AAA offers tools like Trip Canvas and digital TourBooks. With Labor Day weekend approaching, travelers are encouraged to plan ahead and stay safe on the roads and in the air.
