is still not coming off of these numbers. this is the latest projection, just out today from aaa, 109 million americans will travel 50 miles or more between next thursday and january 2nd. about 100 million of those by car. it is so interesting here, these numbers not all that different from where we were in 2019 before the pandemic, only about an 8% difference. now, airlines say they have started to see a wavering in ticket bookings because of the omicron variant, but aaa says people learned to live with this pandemic and that is shown in this forecast. >> all right. pete muntean for us at reagan. i appreciate you being with us, obviously. people make plans, they're hard to change. hopefully everyone travels safe. thank you, sir. "new day" continues right now. good morning to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. it is tuesday, december 14th. i'm john berman.
