I actually recall annual corporate conventions and seminars being in the fall (not the consumer conventions).

Oct - mid Nov are normally pretty slow overall. Mid Jan - Feb are slowest months overall.
Maybe for leisure travel, but business travel seems to be highest Sept to Nov.

Hertz rental car claims October is busiest for them: https://www.travelmarketreport.com/a...s-Travel-Month

Concur, a travel management company, trends:

By contrast, the weeks with the highest above-average levels of business trips came from early September through early November. Looking at full months rather than weeks, July was the slowest month for company trips, while October and November were the busiest.

Default This is only monthly data...

...and they don’t update it very often but it does provide a 2019 baseline of sorts...



What it doesn’t tell is how much of that domestic travel is really feeder for getting international travelers to their departure hub. The summer May-Aug seasonal trend is apparent though.

makes sense. Companies are trying to get the last trips in, and loose ends tied up before the end of the year, and the holidays start.

The TSA claims the data is offset to match up on weekdays, so it should be same day of week for their 2019 and 2020 data.

fear mongering

TSA numbers will pop towards the end of this week and into the weekend. 800k+ easy, more likely 850~ this weekend

fear mongering by who? The TSA?

the numbers are the numbers. So is the % of last year. "2019 was a gangbusters travel year"

OK great, give me 60% of 2019 levels on a consistent basis and maybe we pull thru this

that is the fear mongering I’m talking about. The numbers are literally up week over week, the % of 2019 is up week over week. The amount of passengers has dipped every single Tuesday since the beginning of air travel, why this is suddenly an anomaly is clear fear mongering. No idea what the motives are behind it.

The numbers are WoW on the same day of the week so Tuesday being normally down should not be down week over week.

AA contributes to 40% of the TSA Numbers, and Tuesday so happens to be the slowest day for AA. Look back in April and June. AA had 25 departures or less at some of their hubs on Tuesday’s and Saturday’s, that’ll explain it
