Americans expected to travel in record numbers over July 4th weekend

The COVID-19 vaccine has given Americans the freedom to travel and gather with loved ones again this Independence Day, driving air and road travel numbers up to levels unseen since the beginning of the pandemic. 

Tamas Gyalay is among the 3.5 million travelers expected to pass through U.S. airports over the Fourth of July weekend, which will be the busiest travel period since the start of the pandemic.  "You can video chat all you want, but you're missing a lot of social contact that way, so that's the thing I look most forward to. Reconnecting with loved ones," Gyalay told CBS News correspondent Dina Demetrius as he prepared to board a flight from Los Angeles.
