CheapOair Reveals Popular 4th of July Travel Destinations

July 4th Air Travel Expected to Exceed 32 Million Passengers

New York, New York, July 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As the nation eagerly prepares for Independence Day celebrations, prominent online travel agency CheapOair releases its latest travel data, showcasing the most popular destinations for travelers departing from major U.S. cities. CheapOair reveals the top destinations from five origin cities: Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Washington, D.C., and New York City. These insights reflect travelers’ keen interest in Fourth of July excursions, both domestic and foreign.

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) anticipates a significant surge in travel during this time. According to a June 24th announcement, the TSA expects to screen more than 32 million individuals from Thursday, June 27 through Monday, July 8, which represents a 5.4 percent increase over 2023.

Complementing the TSA’s projections, CheapOair’s data science team provides an overview of travel trends based on bookings for Independence Day travel for July 1 through July 8, reflecting the diverse preferences of U.S. travelers.

While most Americans will spend the holiday week closer to home at local parks, beaches, and BBQs, many will choose to expand their horizons and explore distant locales. Notable across all the lists is the inclusion of destinations that go beyond the usual suspects to include cities in Armenia, Albania, and Togo. U.S. travelers are clearly looking to branch out and see more of the world than ever before.

From Los Angeles, international destinations dominate the list, reflecting the city’s status as a global gateway. The top three destinations are:

  1. Manila, Philippines

  2. San Salvador, El Salvador

  3. Guatemala City, Guatemala

Additionally, destinations like Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam and Yerevan in Armenia make the LA list, alongside domestic favorites like Honolulu and Las Vegas.

  1. San Juan, Puerto Rico
