Sure, you can fly from Texas to Florida. But not to most of Asia. And not to Europe.

Now we are up to about 20 and we are not yet at normal flight.

probably more, though some of it is due to seasonal traffic that is no longer needed at the moment.

When we came from Europe last week, we had to choose from about two flights s week from the whole continent. Supposedly that changes this coming week.

it must be up.
