TSA Passengers April 6 - April 12 prediction

The real killer here isn't whether travel hits the numbers—it's whether we'll even see the data by deadline. The TSA has a track record of dragging its feet on reporting, and there's a genuine risk this whole thing goes unresolved by end of May. That alone should make you think twice. Even if the numbers do surface, this 17.5 to 18 million range is sitting right at the low end of what spring travel typically delivers. We're talking about a narrow band that doesn't account for the usual surge patterns we see in April. Historical flows suggest we're more likely to land above this target than inside it. Sure, some folks are hyped about spring break demand keeping things steady in the sweet spot, and that's fair color. But they're ignoring the twin risks of delayed reporting and a target that's just too tight for this time of year. I'd skip this one entirely—too much can go wrong, and the setup favors staying out rather than betting the numbers land exactly where they need to.
