It's been a very good holiday weekend for travel, but can it last?

The article from Yahoo News discusses the robust start to the summer travel season in the U.S., highlighted by a significant increase in travel demand over Memorial Day weekend. According to the TSA, nearly 9.8 million passengers were screened from Thursday to Monday, marking a 30% increase from the previous year and surpassing pre-pandemic levels. This surge in travel was driven by both domestic and international trips, with a notable rise in international bookings, particularly to Europe and Asia. The article also notes that despite higher travel costs, consumer spending on travel remains strong, reflecting a pent-up demand for travel experiences post-COVID. Additionally, the article touches on the challenges faced by travelers, such as crowded airports and potential delays, but overall, the sentiment is optimistic about the summer travel season.
