empty airports
 
Wandering if anyone else that was flying as a passenger this week noticed how empty the airports were or if it was just me flying into JFk and MSY.

I was in DCA, SFO, and DTW. They were far from empty.

PHL and MSP were not packed but I would not call them empty.

Is that the new airport they're opening near Brooklyn?

JFK was pretty empty this week...it was a little busier today...our flights were generally full...none of the reserves got used...i love sitting ready reserve and not getting used....

Traffic supposed to be down 10% from last year, still hardly empty

At AirTran, our thanksgiving bookings were down 3-4% from last year I believe. The Atlanta airport was certainly slow yesterday....our operation was about 75% on-time....Concourse D was a ghost town too....

IAD wasn't that busy yesterday. It had it's spurts, but for the most part I thought it was a quiet day. Hell I had the whole concourse D pretty much to myself for about 3 hours. It started to pick up around 3:30pm. I arrived into IAD about 1:45, and I saw one plane at the A gates. We were the 3rd airplane on the south side of the C/D gates. I was very surprised.
