"I think the important thing is the ease of use. To be able to come in, get through security, get on your airplane and get out of here is really what you're after," he said. "You want to start that vacation. ... It's not about hanging out and doing things at an airport."
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced Wednesday that the Federal Aviation Administration is forcing airlines to cut 10% of their flights at 40 of the busiest airports across the nation. The goal, he said, is to reduce pressure on air traffic controllers during the ongoing government shutdown and ensure that flying remains safe. Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport and San Francisco International Airport are both on the list.
