Back To TSA Numbers
I have been shopping around for the best flights from TX to FL for thanksgiving. Surprisingly, SW are sold out (albeit, middle seat is empty) or only have a few seats left between that We’d and Thur. AA is showing a bit less, but still a decently packed flight.
i understand this is anecdotal, but worth sharing. Curious to see what the numbers will be.
P.S. I bought 2 tickets. Doing my small part to help recover the industry.

I was in PVG a few weeks ago, and honestly it was mostly just freighters operating. So whatever metric they’re using is not as straightforward as you might think, be expecting, or hoping for.

Granted only a couple flights per day on that route right now. But it wasn't the non-rev free for all I kind of expected.

Was reading some Disney World articles last night...
They have reached max Covid capacity fairly often. Lines are an hour long, people are reporting the park feels busier. This is with mask mandates, limited entrance, no season pass entrance, no park hopping, and having to make reservations. Along with limited food options and ride options.
The people want to travel and vacation. It's the difficulty in travel, and all the rules now, that are keeping us from bigger gains. (not saying 2 million, but we'd see a noticeable uptick if State rules were relaxed.

My home city is actually quite busy. Problem is, prices are so cheap it is attracting clientele that is proving to be more expensive than the revenue they bring. Room renovations, extra security, and unpaid restaurant bills add up.

My wife flew CLT-DFW this morning and the A321 was full, several non-revs didn't make it on. We burned some miles to get her 1st class since AA isn't blocking middle seats. She can Non-Rev but won't do that, good thing we used the miles. She mentioned there were very few food outlets open at CLT. I wonder what load factors are looking like with the reduced flight schedule?

The headline number was good (>900k) and was the third highest day of the recovery. The two other days were bookending the Labor Day Weekend (Fri Sept. 4 and Mon Sept. 7)
Digging deeper, it was the first time in 18 days that we did not have week-over-week growth as % percentage of last year.
This does not mean slower growth, but actual reversal of growth. One data point does not make a trend but something I will be watching in the next two weeks.

The Week-over-week increase in the raw passengers this year is obscuring the fact the last year passengers increased as well.
If we disregard the -5% ,-10%, -15% week-over week results that followed Labor Day, this has been the worst 3-day stretch we've had since the end of August.
