Guest guest Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Heavy travel predicted this weekend Air traffic rebounds to pre-9/11 levels Thursday, May 26, 2005 Posted: 10:50 PM EDT (0250 GMT) WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Millions of American motorists will hit the roads this Memorial Day weekend regardless of the high gas prices, according to AAA, the automobile association. Others who choose to travel by plane will probably face long lines at the nation's airports, federal transportation officials say. A CNN/USA Today/Gallup Poll released Thursday found that 59 percent of respondents reported suffering financial hardship because of the high prices at the gas pumps. Yet AAA estimates 37 million Americans will travel 50 miles or more from home this weekend, generally regarded as the start of the summer travel season. That's a 2 percent increase from last year. In addition, the nation's air traffic has rebounded to pre-9/11 levels -- as have flight delays, federal transportation officials told a Senate subcommittee Thursday. The Federal Aviation Administration said the news is not likely to improve for travelers anytime soon. Adding to this " perfect storm " are bargain airfares, the expansion of low-cost carriers and the tripling in the use of regional jetliners, which hold fewer people. These elements combined have caused the number of air travelers. http://www.cnn.com/2005/TRAVEL/05/26/summer.travel/index.html Dear List Members, The multiple affliction of natal/transit Mars and transit Ketu over transit Venus in the US chart suggests this is not the “ideal time” to travel by plane in the US, or in US planes all over the world. While driving in US, I would take also additional attention/care, as natal Saturn, L4 and the bhukti lord, is exactly afflicted by transit Mars, L6, and closely afflicted by transit Ketu/Rahu axis, and transit Saturn is very weak.
