More Americans hitting the road for Labor Day Weekend, even as fuel costs hit record-highs

Labor Day weekend is here and people hitting the road for the last unofficial weekend of summer are seeing higher costs on everything from hotels to holiday airfare. And as reporter C. B. Cotton shows us, millions are going all out before the calendar turns to fall. Americans are hitting the road this Labor Day weekend, even as prices at the pump hit a record high for this time of year. Super frustrating because it According to gas buddy, the national average is expected to reach $4.03 on Labor Day, topping the previous record set back in 2012 because gas has been so expensive. We have been staying home more. Um, and we haven't been. We haven't felt as comfortable to travel as much as before. Still, that's not stopping some travelers from squeezing in one last summer getaway. Triple A says the worst traffic will hit Saturday and Monday with Seattle, Orlando and Boston among the top domestic destinations. He say, Hey, look, it's gonna what? Most cars have a 15 gallon tank. It's gonna be $15 more this year to fill up than it was last year. Again, people are gonna be grumpy about it, but they're still gonna do it. It's only $15. What they might do is scale back in other ways. And for those flying airfare to popular spots is up roughly 20% and they might not see relief with hotel prices either with domestic bookings up 9%. Some frustrated travelers are pointing to the war in Iran as part of the problem. It's kind of a pointless war. Um, you know, that's just making everything more expensive for us. A bit of good news, though. Triple A says prices for cruises leaving from the U. S. Are down 4% this year. Travelers say they see it as an easy, convenient way to vacation in New York.
