finally the few intl destinations that do open could see higher numbers then 2019. Mexico seems to fit in that category based on what the airlines are adding. A handful of islands are open too. So maybe it’s Aruba this year and not Tahiti.
you still can’t make up 100% of whatever the number is but also won’t be 0%
It’s anecdotal. I still see a lot of first time flyers but I’m seeing more first class and high air miles customers boarding. I’m seeing more people dressed for business in the terminals. I think business travel is rebounding.
