“We did a quick getaway before school starts,” says Dolores Nixon Mack, of East Orange.

They are not alone. AAA expects to see an increase of about 20% in travel compared the previous years. This comes even as the cost of a plane ticket is up 20%.

“We were actually very nervous. We heard so many stories of bags getting lost, but luckily, we did receive all our bags, and everything went smoothly — flights were on time,” says Varsha Daryanani.

AAA says that international travel is about double where it was from last year.
