Great\u00a0Thanksgiving Pilgrimage:\u00a0Sunday Was “Busiest Day Ever For TSA”<\/span><\/p>\n

US airlines are trading slightly higher in the early cash session after new Transportation Security Administration (TSA) checkpoint data revealed that Sunday marked the “busiest day ever” at airports nationwide.<\/p>\n

Traffic from Reagan National Airport is backed way up onto Rt. 1 as we are in one of the busiest periods of the busiest air travel day for Thanksgiving. I took my own reporter advice & dropped someone off at Crystal City Metro- riding one stop was his only way to make his flight. pic.twitter.com\/fRwuXFVabq<\/a><\/p>\n

TSA checkpoint data indicated that officers screened 3,087,393 passengers across airports, a 33% jump from the same day one year ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This morning I\u2019m at @Reagan_Airport<\/a> for the last busy day of traveling as Thanksgiving weekend comes to an end. So far, no canceled or delayed flights, but the TSA line is getting steadily longer, so give yourself plenty of time to get to your gate! @wusa9<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/LhA8j7YJjR<\/a><\/p>\n

In markets, the S&P 500 Passenger Airlines Index edged slightly higher on the news. While the index has not recovered to pre-pandemic levels, it has risen 57% year-to-date.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

AAA projected<\/a> that nearly 80 million Americans would travel more than 50 miles, either by road or air, ahead of last week’s Thanksgiving holiday.<\/p>\n

Beyond soaring air travel demand, consumers also flocked to movie theaters in record numbers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Is America truly back after the post-Covid funk?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
