- What a nostalgic moment. On Sunday, the US Department of Transportation screened around 2.56 million travelers, nearly matching the pre-pandemic levels of 2019.
- Exciting news for Belfast. A new airline, Fly Atlantic, is launching in summer 2024, enhancing connections from North America to the UK.

Popular travel trends
It’s the most magical (and hectic) time of the year While December has just kicked off, holiday travel is already on our radar. If Thanksgiving is any indication, expect airports to be bustling. Luckily, we have data to help us navigate the chaos – here’s what to anticipate* if you’re flying to your holiday celebrations this season:
- If you’re traveling on these dates… Plan for extra time – our recent data shows that the busiest travel days this holiday season will be 12/22 and 12/23. If you’re flying out on those Thursday or Friday, we recommend avoiding checked bags and preparing for longer lines at the airport.
- If you haven’t booked yet… Dodge the crowds and possibly save some cash – our figures suggest that flying to your holiday destination on Christmas Eve might be more affordable than traveling on the days leading up to it.
