Expedia reports that travel is heating up both on the road and in the air as we approach the Fourth of July. The week leading up to the holiday is expected to be busy and expensive.
Key takeaways

- For the period from June 29 to July 7, Expedia shows that the most popular flight destinations in the U.S. are New York City, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Orlando;
