With tens of millions of Americans set to travel ahead of Memorial Day weekend, traffic may be unavoidable — but sitting in the worst of it doesn't have to be.

The American Automobile Association (AAA) recently released its projections for Memorial Day travel, finding that 45 million Americans are likely to travel at least 50 miles from home between May 21 and May 25, according to a release.

"This year’s domestic travel forecast is slightly higher than last year and sets a new Memorial Day weekend record with 39.1 million people traveling by car and 3.66 million expected to fly to their destinations," the statement said.

"While gas prices are higher than last Memorial Day weekend, average ticket prices for flights are lower than last year for those who booked early."
