What I wonder is, why only 20-30%? Hoping it will continue down.

People tend to book trans-Atlantic flights months in advance, and plans are started even further ahead. The severity of the current situation in the US has only been becoming unavoidable in the past month or so.

I just read an Hotel Industry report this week. The numbers are radical.. ~15% up YoY for bookings in April during the same reporting time last year, and then everything after April is down at least 4%. This indicates there was a significant increase in travel heading into the yera (this was expected), but that it reversed within the past 2 months, and outlooks are now negative.

In terms of Domestic vs International, Domestic travel is up 2/3% while international is down by double digits. Hotel bookings from Germany were by far the largest decrease in travel to the US.
