And I think what the secretary is talking about is kind of completing that mission of making sure that, OK, we have all these great restaurant choices.
There's going to be healthier choices or things to do or, you know, things to kind of, you know, whether it's working out or taking care of yourself, your personal health in those kind of times when you're waiting for the next flight to take off or whatever it might be.
I think it's great.
They understand travel is an experience.
TSA did their part.
We created PreCheck and Clear.
You can get through a TSA line in two minutes now in some places as opposed to the two-hour waits we used to have.
Nobody smokes in airplanes anymore.
That's great.
There's more choices.
And like I said, most importantly, it's more affordable.
more Americans travel now than ever before because all this competition especially on the domestic side has really reduced prices and made it affordable for so many families that otherwise maybe couldn't have made that trip or businesses that had to do everything remotely but now they can afford spending a little extra money building those personal relationships on the business side of things so the entire experience has been raised there's no question about it I think they just say we're not done we're going to take it to the next level and I think that's a great thing for the entire air system and that traveler experience
Yeah, so look, since 2019, if you add all the inflationary pressures that have come for various reasons, the average product in America has probably gone up about 30%, 32% when you compound the inflation.
Airlines, 1%.
I think it's increased.
The average domestic ticket has actually increased about 1% in five or six years.
So that's well below inflation, right?
That's almost a deflationary type ticket.
And again, that's because they're competing more.
There's more options for folks.
