Pretty crazy how big SAN is without being a hub for any international airline

This is an interesting way to look at this data. My first take is: “is this just population data?” I have a feeling that it mostly is, but isn’t completely. It would be interesting to look at which airports “punch above their weight” in terms of traffic vs size of the greater metro area that they’re a part of.
To be completely clear, that is an entirely different (and more complicated) task than you’ve tackled here. I’m not saying your dataviz should have tackled this question. I’m saying your dataviz is interesting and has generated some clarifying follow-on questions.

Does “service_class=F” imply that this is just tracking first class traffic?

From the REST URL at the bottom, it seems like this includes stopovers (`/traffic/segments`). If so, wonder if that leads it to double-count stopovers, i.e you are a passenger at your origin and destination once each, but a passenger at your stopovers twice each (takeoff and landing).

Shocked that JFK and LaGuardia combined (3.5%) are so much lower than ATL, Denver or DFW
