Americans took a small and cautious step to return to the skies this weekend, the start of the traditional summer travel season.
The TSA reported Saturday that it screened more passengers at US airports on Thursday and Friday than at any time in the last two months. It's only a modest improvement, but crucial for the turnaround chances for the battered US travel industry.The number of travelers passing through airport screening hit 318,449 Thursday and 348,673 Friday, compared to more than 2.6 million passengers on each of the same days a year ago.
For the first time in 20 years, AAA did not issue a Memorial Day travel forecast, saying it could not trust the accuracy of the economic data it uses because of the coronavirus crisis. But AAA said its own online bookings have been rising since April, albeit modestly, suggesting travelers' confidence may be improving."The saying goes that the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
