The majority of traveling Americans are expected to hit the road for their summer vacations, according to a recent survey from travel organizing app TripIt.

The survey found most Americans are opting to drive instead of fly for three popular summer travel dates: Memorial Day, the Fourth of July and Labor Day. Despite respondents’ caution around air travel, the report found that people are warming to the idea of flying in the second half of the year — a potential boon for tourism-reliant cities such as Las Vegas.
