The latest AAA survey finds more than five million Californians plan to travel fifty miles or more this holiday weekend.
"We are seeing a surge of travel this year on Thanksgiving. We have an expected four percent increase from last year," said Cynthia Harris, a representative for AAA.
Harris said most of those people, four point five million of them, will be driving.
"Air travel is also expected to increase from last year despite a twenty percent jump in fares. The lowest round-trip rate is projected to be around two-hundred and twelve dollars."
Harris said six-hundred and twenty thousand Californians will be flying. That's a two percent increase over last year.
She also said most of the people traveling will stay with family or friends. But for people staying at a hotel, rates are expected to be six percent higher this year with an average price of one hundred and forty-five dollars a night.
