I have bought 9 segments over the last month. The cheapest was a round trip transcon purchased two weeks ahead of travel date with a two week stay. Main cabin with a connect through DFW to get cheaper ticket brought it to 600 total. My flight to west coast from clt was oversold to Dallas. Second leg on Skywest CRJ-700 had ~5 open seats

anecdotally I can say there is business travel as well. More than I expected frankly. Everyone I have been seated with was business travel. Obviously not a large enough sample to draw any conclusions but I was encouraged.

Edit: I do not expect this economy to recover in months, it will be years. I just want the politics to get out of the way so we can all get back to work. From what I’ve seen folks are ready to get on with life.
