Haven’t flown in a while but I’m headed out of town on Friday. Trying to plan when to head over there. Has it been at normal traffic or substantially more barren?

I’m sure it’s pretty dead compared to normal, just like any other airport.

I would expect air travel to be down 90% over last year at this time

ETA: I wouldn’t the crowd to be a problem, but you may have problems if you need help from airlines or airport personnel

I’ve flown 5 times in the last 2 months including this past Wednesday. It’s pretty much a ghost town and it should take you less than 15 minutes to get from your car to your gate, assuming you have your boarding pass.

Flights are coming around at Atlantic Aviation. I saw FedEx come in this evening and a yellow Spirit plane take off this afternoon.

It's less than it was but last Monday, it was surprisingly busy at about 5:30 AM. I'm glad I was in priority/first class and got to skip a lot of the security line.

It has definitely picked up. The last flight I came in from Dallas Wednesday was completely full

Flew in Thursday - got in at 4:45pm and it was dead. Heading there now for a 9am flight and I expect it to be a ghost down. Most of the restaurants are closed up too.

ETA: I have TSA Pre-Check but I got through security in less than a minute. Regular line wasn’t very long either

What airline? I thought most of the big airlines aren’t running at full capacity.

2 weeks ago it was more crowded than I anticipated, but still not what i would consider busy at all. fairly short lines for TSA and baggage check.

Southwest guarantees the middle seat open on all flights. I love it

I thought AA was doing limited capacity too. That’s why I was wondering what airline.
