In a shocking revelation that is sure to send shockwaves through the American society, AAA has revealed that people actually take advantage of long weekends to – wait for it – TRAVEL. Yes, you read that right. The age-old tradition of using a long weekend to sit on your couch, enjoy a Netflix binge, and order takeout, is apparently not the most popular choice for the American populace. In a groundbreaking study based on data collected from various travel bookings, AAA has found an alarming trend - people are multitudes more keen to visit places and create memories instead of spending quality time with their beloved Hulu subscription. The AAA's explosive findings come on the heels of the revelation that domestic bookings for flights, hotels, rental cars and cruises for the upcoming Labor Day weekend are up by an astounding 4%. It's a slap in the face for all couch potatoes who believed that their devotion to indoor activities every long weekend was echoed by the rest of the nation. But it gets worse. The AAA study also uncovered that international bookings have shot up by a whopping 44%, shattering the illusion that Americans are a Netflix-and-chill kind of population. "Most travelers will leave on Thursday or Friday to take advantage of the long holiday weekend," says Paula Twidale, AAA Travel's Senior Vice President, apparently oblivious of the blow her statement lands on devout homebodies. It is still unclear how this stunning disclosure will affect the TV binge-watching community, millennials who had just discovered the joys of a three-day-long nap, or the indomitable spirits who viewed long weekends as an opportunity to finally clean the attic. In related news, shares of takeout apps and online streaming platforms also took a hit. Clearly, investors are worried about the erosion of the long weekend binge economy. In the wake of this ground-shattering revelation, some are left questioning - Where is the world coming to? What happened to the sacred tradition of doing absolutely nothing over the three-day weekend? Will pajamas and living rooms feel left out? As the world grapples with this startling discovery, recliners across the country give a solitary creak of loneliness... but the upside: at least you won’t have to fight anyone for the remote this Labor Day weekend.
