Traffic backed up on Connecticut highways as Memorial Day travel kicks off
HARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH) — Traffic is backed up in all directions on highways in the state as people get ahead of their holiday travel.
Experts predict record travel on Memorial Day weekend
Friday marks the beginning of the 100 most dangerous days on Connecticut highways. Connecticut Department of Transportation and state police teamed up with AAA to talk about the dangers of driving impaired, distracted or driving drowsy.
'When I see someone in my rearview mirror speeding through, I let him go by and get out of the way, and I keep it moving,' Dawn Williams, a Plainville resident, said.
The earlier you start your day, the better. Hitting the road at around 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. means you'll hit the least amount of traffic.

Florida gas prices soar by double digits amid Iran-Israel conflict, AAA says
Florida drivers are paying more at the pump after a volatile week in oil markets. According to AAA, the average price for a gallon of gas in Florida rose 16 cents from the previous week, settling at $3.11 on Sunday. Prices had briefly dipped to $2.95 on Wednesday — Florida's lowest average since May 10 — but then surged to $3.15 by Thursday, the highest price recorded since early May. Global conflict fuels oil market uncertainty The latest price hike comes as geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continue to rattle energy markets. U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and Iran's subsequent threats to retaliate, including potentially closing the vital Strait of Hormuz, have caused oil prices to swing. The strait, responsible for about 20% of global oil trade, remains open as Iran's Supreme National Security Council has not yet finalized the Parliament's vote to block it. However, the uncertainty alone has impacted markets. Crude oil closed Friday at $74.93 per barrel, up nearly $2 from the prior week. Overnight trading saw prices fluctuate between $74 and $77 — a significant climb compared to May's $60 average. AAA: Expect more volatility if tensions persist "Drivers in the U.S. could see higher prices at the pump if tensions persist or if oil flows are disrupted," said Mark Jenkins, spokesperson for AAA – The Auto Club Group. "So far, the impact has been measured, but market watchers are keeping a close eye on how things unfold in the coming days." Where prices are highest and lowest in Florida Some Florida metro areas are feeling the price pressure more than others. Most expensive gas prices in Florida: West Palm Beach–Boca Raton: $3.27 Naples: $3.18 Gainesville: $3.18 Least expensive gas prices in Florida: Crestview–Fort Walton Beach: $2.90 Panama City: $2.93 Pensacola: $2.96 Tips to save money at the pump AAA recommends drivers take the following steps to reduce fuel costs: Combine errands to limit drive time Avoid rapid acceleration and speeding Remove unnecessary weight from vehicles Use the AAA mobile app to compare prices locally Pay with cash to avoid card surcharges

Passengers slam poor airline treatment as summer travel woes mount: ‘I paid for this flight'
An individual has taken to social media to rant that he or she is 'tired of airlines acting like they're doing you a favor for putting you on a flight you paid for' just as the busiest summer travel season gets underway — sparking a heated discussion online among other travelers. 'I book a flight weeks in advance and find out I've been put on standby when I get to the airport,' wrote the person in a Reddit post, which elicited more than 5,000 reactions. Advertisement 'I then get told, 'Oh, you're lucky we got you the last seats available.'' The person added on the Reddit travel thread, 'Lucky? I paid for this flight weeks in advance.' The Redditor went on to say, addressing an unnamed airline in the post, 'You oversold the flight and are now scrambling people around and are acting like you're doing me [a] favor for getting me a seat on the flight I originally booked and paid for.' One individual responded to the post, 'They will cancel or change the flight at a moment's notice, but if you change it, it's a problem and costs more.' Advertisement That reply alone attracted some 3,000 reactions. The vast majority of commenters agreed with the original post and expressed similar levels of outrage. 'They rarely admit fault and if you make a mistake, it usually costs you,' said another person. 'It would be fair if they took responsibility, especially for overbooking.'

Others online shared different perspectives — with some expressing confusion about the situation described. Advertisement 'Did you make sure to check in 24 hours in advance?' wrote one person.
