HEATHROW, Fla. – More Americans will not be traveling this weekend, choosing instead to spend the Memorial Day holiday at home, MSN Money reports. AAA attributed the slight decline to airline “fee fatigue,” not gasoline prices.

“AAA is forecasting Memorial Day travel to be slightly lower this year due to an to an up and down economy, the impact of the end of the payroll tax holiday on working families and a 30-year low in the percentage of working age people in the workforce,” said Robert Darbelnet, president and CEO of AAA.

Approximately 34.8 million people will go at least 50 miles from home this weekend, around a 1% drop from last year, according to AAA. However, with gasoline prices around the same as last year, 62% of survey respondents said pump prices wouldn’t affect their travel plans. 

Most travelers will hit the road, with the vast majority visiting family and friends. Car travelers jumped a mere .1 million to reach 31.2 million this year. The total distance will be farther than in 2012, 48 more miles than average to reach 690 miles on average, which includes air, boat, bus and train travel.

NACS said that this Memorial Day weekend should see steady fuel prices, unlike the upticks in years’ past. Overall, summer travel looks rosier, with around 45% of AAA survey respondents indicating interstate trips and close to two-thirds will be gone at least six vacation days. NACS recently released its May 2013 NACS Consumer Fuels Survey that predicts a robust summer season.
