Over Memorial Day weekend, some 600,000 Americans flew by Sunday afternoon, according to the Transportation Security Administration.
The TSA measures checkpoint travel numbers and compares them to the same figures at the time last year.
That number was way down from the same period last year, when nearly 5 million Americans traveled by air through the first two days of the three-day weekend.
While the numbers appeared stark, the weekend was a pandemic-era record in terms of screened travelers.
On April 14, the TSA recorded its lowest number of screened travelers – just shy of 88,000.
The TSA reported that in April, it screened just 6 per cent of the total number of passengers that went through security in the same month last year.
The COVID-19 pandemic hampered nationwide travel over the holiday weekend so much that the American Automobile Association declined to release its annual travel forecast.
Some 112,925 people have died from the coronavirus in the United States
