I doubt 09-11 (today) will be reliable, in light of the tragedy on that date. I am not even worrying about the numbers on that date.
The airlines are reacting by adding more leisure travel options. However Oct schedules are realigning to look like July’s for American. Similar non business friendly connections etc.
(my opinion)
The bottom line I think is that people seem to be waiting till the last minute to book because if local uncertainty. Connections are an issue as well. I recently had to drive to another city for a cross country flight because it just couldn’t happen from my local city connection wise.
All this is anecdotal but some friends also are passing on trips because you just can’t get there without an overnight stay somewhere along the way from their cities. If they have to do that anyway might as well drive and save some coin.
