The upcoming summer travel season is expected to be extremely busy, with Memorial Day weekend projected to be the busiest in 14 years, and airlines preparing for record numbers of passengers. However, travelers may face hurdles such as air traffic controller shortages, hot weather affecting flight schedules, and increased turbulence due to climate change. Additionally, a hyperactive Atlantic hurricane season is predicted, with potential impacts on flights along the US Gulf and Atlantic coasts. Despite these challenges, there may be some relief for budget-conscious travelers, as summer fares are expected to be lower than last year, particularly for US domestic and European flights.
