- Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Phoenix showed slower easing, reflecting persistent congestion along major West Coast corridors.
- Northeastern metros (NYC, Philly, Boston, D.C.) demonstrated clearer Evening stabilization as holiday mobility spread out.
- Chicago, Denver, Houston, and Dallas/Fort Worth maintained moderate uplift tied to logistics, freight, and long-haul departures.
- Volatility has eased since the afternoon spike, but several cities still posted notable % changes from Morning to Evening.
🔻 Bottom Line
The Evening pricing window reflects a cooler and more stable market compared to the Morning surge, but key metros continue to show measurable movement driven by strong Thanksgiving mobility, airport turnover, and corridor traffic.
