Come on folks, when you do year over year comparisons of air travel you have to remember things like holidays. Easter was in March last year, and April this year. This should mean that, other things equal, a year over year comparison of air travel for March will look bad and a year over year comparison for April will look good. So, why is USA Today surprised by the uptick in April travel?
