Speaker 2: for those who want to get away for Thanksgiving, including

00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 2: from the airport. That's only been a little more than

6
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 2: a week since the FAA lifted their flight restrictions as

7
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 2: a result of the government shut down. Now millions of

8

33
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,280

34
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 6: the Columbus is Ohio State's play in Michigan, so everybody's

35
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 6: going to be home watching the game anyway, so we

36
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 6: figured we could zoom in with no problem.

37
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 5: We're expecting another travel record to follow this year, and

38
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 5: while security lines are packed, travelers I spoke to were

39
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,720

49
