(CNN) – Trains, planes, or automobiles!

It doesn’t matter which mode you’re traveling for the holidays, prepare to a long wait.

AAA says this holiday season will break records!

It expects 115.6 million people to leave their homes for a holiday destination this year.

That’s just within a 12-day period.

The travel group says it’s looking specifically at Saturday December 21st through January 1st.

It says nearly 105 million people will be on the road.

That’s nearly four million more people hitting the highways compared to last year.

At the same time, around seven million Americans are expected to fly; the most AAA says its seen since 2003.

As for other forms of transportation; it expects another four million people to travel by trains, buses, and cruise ships to their holiday spots.
