LOS ANGELES—Following a record-setting Thanksgiving travel season, Southern California residents are now looking to escape the area for the Christmas and New Year’s holiday season, with 9.5 million locals expected to hit the roads and airways, according to the Automobile Club of Southern California.
The Auto Club prediction of Southern California travelers is a 3 percent increase from last year’s travel number during the same period, and 2 percent above the level from 2019, the last pre-pandemic year-end holiday season.
