(Reuters) - Holiday travelers check their bags at a Delta counter as they prepare for Thanksgiving holiday travel at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta, Georgia November 25 , 2009. The number of air travelers over the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday will be down this year, which means shorter lines and fewer airport hassles, but full planes and new fees may keep passengers grumbling. The U.S. airline industry, battered for more than a year by economic turmoil, has slashed capacity since 2007 to offset weaker demand and support fares. As a result, airports are less busy but planes are extremely full. REUTERS/Tami Chappell (UNITED STATES BUSINESS TRANSPORT TRAVEL)
