Holiday travelers won't be alone on the highways this holiday weekend.

It's not just roads that will be crowded during Memorial Day weekend. Senior Vice President with Airlines for America, Jean Medina, says Friday is the third busiest day for flying.
"We encourage people to get to the airport early and be patient," said Medina. "We have a lot of people traveling, but the good news is airplane employees are there and waiting to help you."
Pack your patience for the entire summer. Airlines for America expects a 4.5 percent increase in air travel. That translates to 104,000 more travelers per day.
"While 104,000 people are going to be flying everyday, airlines are adding 126,000 seats through additional planes, larger planes. So, there's extra space for people who are going to be traveling this summer," said Medina.
