They said a few more than 100,000 people in the Commonwealth will take to the skies, marking a slight increase from last year, due to improvements from airlines.

”Weather delays and cancellations are a very real thing this time of year. But I think in terms of what airlines can control, we’ve seen improvements and Thanksgiving was, was proof of it,” AAA spokesperson Aixa Diaz said.

More than 90% of Virginia’s travelers will be hitting the road since gas prices are at their lowest level in years, according to the AAA.
