This became apparent in March as scores of spring breakers took to the skies. As more Americans got vaccinated, travel grew even more popular. By June, there were clear indications of a summer travel boom. This was clearly seen during the busy Fourth of July weekend when air travel numbers exceeded pre-pandemic levels. However, with the Delta variant becoming prevalent, travelers are finding themselves rethinking their travel plans.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-24697 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/1154862_WeeklyAirTrafficGraph_v4_081621-1024x768.png\" alt=\"Summer travel numbers drop as Delta variant concerns rise\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wordwblog02.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/1154862_WeeklyAirTrafficGraph_v4_081621-1024x768.png 1024w, http:\/\/wordwblog02.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/1154862_WeeklyAirTrafficGraph_v4_081621-300x225.png 300w, http:\/\/wordwblog02.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/1154862_WeeklyAirTrafficGraph_v4_081621-768x576.png 768w, http:\/\/wordwblog02.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/1154862_WeeklyAirTrafficGraph_v4_081621.png 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>According to the latest JPMorgan Chase data, airline ticket sales decreased in July as the delta variant proliferated. Sales were down nearly 20% compared to only a few weeks before. The travel slowdown comes even as US airlines continue to struggle with labor shortages and resulting flight cancellations and delays.<\/p>\n<h2>Is it okay for me to travel now?<\/h2>\n<p>According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the United States, fully vaccinated individuals can travel within the country with little risk. This means that persons who have been vaccinated can travel with reduced risk, especially when additional protective measures such as social distance and mask-wearing are used. <strong>The CDC does, however, recommend postponing travel for unvaccinated persons. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that vaccinated people can still be asymptomatically infected and spread the virus to others, so they must consider who could be exposed. So, if you&#8217;re going to be in a place with unvaccinated people who don&#8217;t have the same level of protection as you, you could make them sick.<\/p>\n<p>If it&#8217;s a worry-free travel experience you&#8217;re looking for, you should consider driving yourself to the airport instead of using public transport.
