I was trying to get out of the US because our UA direct flights to India were canceled - and LH ex-EWR were quite full - obviously.
However, all UA flights seem to be going pretty full to other TATL destinations, so there is most definitely a large rise in travel...
In fact, UA GS members (ala HON) suddenly came out of the woodwork in March - and were populating the waitlists in droves...
All my LH flights EWR-FRA-MUC-DEL were very full... (and the EWR-MUC later flight was full as well - lots of US Army Reservists were unable to board that flight)
