Here's what to expect for holiday travel as a winter storm sweeps across the U.S.

In total, AAA estimated that 112.7 million people will travel 50 miles or more from home in the period between Dec. 23 and Jan. 2. Most of those people will drive, but around 7.2 million are expected to fly.

Those traveling for the holidays this week should prepare for busy roads, long lines and possible disruptions thanks to effects from a dangerous winter storm.

"This year, travel time will be extended due to Christmas Day and New Year's Day falling on Sundays," said Paula Twidale, AAA's senior vice president of travel."With hybrid work schedules, we are seeing more people take longer weekends to travel, because they can work remotely at their destination and be more flexible with the days they depart and return."

The early days of 2023 will also be a busy time for airlines: The FAA said they expect to guide"around 300,000 flights to their destinations safely for the New Year's holiday," with nearly 45,000 of those flights set for Jan. 4.
