Thanksgiving Airline Horror Stories: The Non-Story

Travelers-1

Last week in PlaneBusiness Banter, I mentioned that the reports we had received from many of our PlaneBuzz readers and our PBB subscribers seemed to be telling a similar story. In the days leading up to Thanksgiving, many of you had written me, telling me that loads on your flights were not that bad, weather was cooperating, and that overall, things at the nation’s airports were humming right along.

Or as one reader put it, “I’ve seen Friday afternoons at ORD that were much worse than they were Wednesday afternoon.”

This morning, we’re starting to get the first reports in from yesterday from a number of flight crew members, and those at the airlines who have access to their airline’s respective flight info — and again — while I hate to disappoint those national media types who seemed to be salivating at the thought of an ugly passenger experience last week — I’ve got some breaking news for you.

There is no story here.

The busiest air travel weekend has come and gone. And by all accounts that we have read, it went pretty damn well.
