Americans are closing out summer with Labor Day getaways despite higher travel costs and expected traffic delays. AAA booking data shows strong demand for destinations across the U.S., Canada, and Europe, with Seattle, Orlando, Rome, and London among the most popular choices. Travelers face higher fuel, airfare, and hotel costs this year, while domestic cruise prices trend lower.

“Labor Day has long been a popular time for a final summer getaway, and travelers continue to prioritize vacations with family and friends,” said Megan Cooper, spokeswoman for AAA – The Auto Club Group. “Whether it’s a cruise, a national park adventure, or an international trip, travelers are eager to make the most of the holiday weekend.”

Travelers are paying more for several major components of a Labor Day vacation this year.

AAA booking data shows average domestic airfare is up 2% compared to last year, averaging $750 for a roundtrip ticket. For travelers flying to the most popular Labor Day destinations, airfare is nearly 20% higher than last year, averaging $790.

Travelers are also paying more for accommodations. Domestic hotel bookings are up 9% compared to last Labor Day weekend, while international hotel bookings are 12% more expensive.

Not every travel category saw price increases. International airfare is down 4% year over year, creating opportunities for travelers looking beyond U.S. borders.
