Flight Searches 2 weeks before Thanksgiving
This appeared on Gizmodo. http://gizmodo.com/visualization-of-...ank-1745018489. Supposedly it shows what flights were searched for from Google Flights for Thanksgiving weekend that were above the normal level of searches.
I know that during that particular time, I in fact spend quite a bit of time trying to find creative low priced ways to Florida from BOS. i notice that is a very heavy search on this map. I now wonder how much impact my searches have against the overall level of searches done. At the same time, it mentions 3.6 million searches were in the database, so how significant can one persons searches be?

Note that the width of the lines is the increase over normal activity, not absolute. If no one every looks to fly BOS-MIA, then your activity could be meaningful.
But probably not.
