I was suprised today the loads were only marginally higher than average.
Express and shuttle had more people than usual flynig but mainline was pretty average today. I would say only about 15% above normal if that much really. The flow was pretty steady. Anyone else around the airports notice that? I think the biggest hit was we were on single runways operations today as far as affecting travel. 4 all day long while I was there.
As I arrived at LGA around 1230 from my view out the M60 bus window I was shocked to see that the large parking lot in front of both the US and DL Terminals was only about half full and the empty spots where spread equally between the two terminals.
Happy Thanksgiving

it took me 40 minutes to get from the us terminal to the ctb last night when i left. it took me only 10 minutes to drive home... i hate being at work this time of year, glad i'm off today and tommorow!
Matt thanks for reminding me. last night I boarded the employee bus at approx 2335 lcl at the US Terminal, we arrived at the CTB 30 mins later at 0005 and the employee lot at 0020 all do to severe roadway gridlock. Bad way to end a really bad night at the office !
Happy Thanksgiving

I am glad I got out when I did than last night. I had a feeling about that. I hope you guys get out somewhat decently tonight. I could not stay any longer I felt terrible today. I hope all goes well there tonight. I think I am going to be doing alot of doing alot of sitting around sipping coffee tomorrow
Tonight is running a lot smoother than Tuesday night ironically in much worse weather. And hiss may get to do more than sip coffee in the morning, you will also be fairly well fed, since the HP folks took over we are usually very well fed on Thanksgiving day and other occasions.
Happy Thanksgiving

Good deal than for sure because I know I am going tobe bored tomorrow probably so what better thing to do than eat right?
I flew in last night (Tuesday nite) from DEN and got in around 0015. It seemed a little more crowded than it normally does at that time (based on previous experience) but not much more so. The line for a cab was still only about 5 minutes...
ron i ended up walking off the employee bus, walking past the ctb and hopping on the short loop. saved lots of time...
MCO was also marginally busier. I expected full flights, and most were heavy, but not full. No payload issues tonight. I got out at 2300 local tonight but then went out with the coworkers to have some fun at TGI Fridays. What a time we had. Great great way to kick off this Thanksgiving holiday. Thank goodness I don't have to work tomorrow. However, I cannot wait to see how busy Sunday is. Should be fun fun.

at EWR on COA flights, load factors were only about 3-4% more then usual, delays were all due to weather
We have Sunday as having the killer numbers. Yesterday had consistent flows but the lines at the checkpoints didn't get any longer than usual.
May you all have a safe and enjoyable Holiday.
I am flying ISP-PHL-ORD Saturday late morning---what does it look like then?
Happy Thanksgiving all....
Hey Art, looks like your flights are around 90 pct full but good NE weather forecast, have a good trip Art and Happy Thanksgiving as well !
