Southern Californians traveling by air for the Fourth of July holiday are more likely to choose Hawaii than other destinations, according to the Automobile Club of Southern California.

The club found that because this year’s holiday falls on a Thursday, 0.7 percent fewer Southern Californians are expected to make holiday trips.

However, about 2.92 million SoCal residents still plan holiday travel, most of them by car.

The 343,000 expected to travel by air represent a three-tenths of one percent increase over the 2011 travel number.
