In the end, they will arrive on November 9, using a more moderate amount of miles.</p> </p><p><strong>More seats, bigger planes </strong></p> </p><p>At Air France, traffic has been gradually returning and "won't change overnight on November 8," said a spokesperson for the carrier.</p> </p> <div class="tjp-single__content-ads d-hidden"> <div id="div-gpt-ad-74843-5"> <script> googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-74843-5"); }); </script> </div> </div> <div class="tjp-single__content-ads m-hidden"> <div id="div-gpt-ad-74843-4"> <script> googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-74843-4"); }); </script> </div> </div> <p>The French airline has for months flown jets with empty seats.

The carrier expects its capacity in terms of US travel to reach 90 percent of its pre-Covid 19 level in March 2022, up from 65 percent in October.</p> </p><p>Airlines are planning for a modest pullback in January and February after a strong holiday season, but anticipate strong demand in the spring that will intensify in the summer, traditionally the busiest season.</p> </p><p>At United Airlines, traffic to Latin America has fully returned to its level from 2019, but the rest of international travel remains at only about 63 percent.</p> </p><p>The US carrier is betting big on a vibrant return to international travel, introducing five new destinations in the spring including in Spain and Norway, adding flights for popular destinations such as Rome and Dublin and reviving service to Frankfurt, Nice and other cities.</p> </p> <div class="tjp-single__content-ads d-hidden"> <div id="div-gpt-ad-74843-7"> <script> googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-74843-7"); }); </script> </div> </div> <div class="tjp-single__content-ads m-hidden"> <div id="div-gpt-ad-74843-6"> <script> googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-74843-6"); }); </script> </div> </div> <p><strong>Too few workers? </strong></p> </p><p>The industry also expects a strong, but slower, recovery in travel to Asia. </p> </p><p>Singapore Airlines, which benefited from a recent decision by Singaporean authorities to allow quarantine-free travel for a far broader range of travelers from the United States and Canada, anticipates flight frequency from North America to Singapore in December will reach 77 percent of pre-COVID levels, thanks to the reopening of voyages to Seattle and Vancouver, and for trips like Singapore-Frankfurt-New York.</p> </p><p>Burkett Huey, an analyst at Morningstar, said airlines should have enough planes to meet rising demand. But whether there is sufficient staff is "a question mark," he said.</p> </p><p>Airlines welcomed the exodus of thousands of employees early in the pandemic. But both American and Southwest have in recent weeks canceled thousands of flights due in part to meager staff levels.</p> </p><p>Still unclear is the timetable for a robust recovery in business travel, an unknown that affects airline planning.</p> </p><p>Traditionally, airlines fly wide body planes across the Atlantic on busy routes to provide comfortable seats for business travelers, and then organize smaller planes for touristic destinations.</p> </p><p>But if business travelers are late to come back, airlines could decide to plan more direct flights using the newer narrow body jets with longer range.</p> </p> <div class="topic"> <div> </div> </div> <div class="tjp-single__content-list tjp-single__content-list--popular"> <h1 class="tjp-label">Popular</h1> <div class="tjp-article
