a regional travel agency, predicts holiday travel will be comparable to pre-pandemic levels, with 149,504 Delawareans traveling. 

More than 10,000 Delawareans will fly somewhere this weekend, which is 7% more than Thanksgiving weekend last year as COVID-19 restrictions on flights are lifted, AAA said.

Around 90% of travelers will drive to their destinations, the agency expects.

While inflation has caused gas prices to surge over the past year, the past few weeks have seen a drop in the average cost per gallon. 

New Castle County’s average cost per gallon is $3.62. In Kent County, the cost is $3.57, and down in Sussex, the average gallon costs $3.59.
