Only talk about Carmax here? I am interested in the above 3 companies too, especially in the Airlines as from many flights within Europe and to NZ and Asia this year I found the business to be booming again, which already shows in the price of Lufthansa shares which I bought in Sep (up 50% since then) but not yet in that of those American Airlines although I assume the situation should be similar for them (and looking on their plane orders seems to confirm that).

Fittingly I just read this Economist article which is blowing in the same horn:

One more thing: Ticket prices are at least for long-distance flights much higher than before the Pandemic - but people are craving to get out again so they are willing to pay them. For one-way Germany-New Zealand in summer the cheapest I could get was '1,900 - more than what I paid 3 and 4 years ago for return flights. For 2 return flights Hawaii-Crete in business friends paid $19,000 - at least double of what they usually paid. It's not only about comparing capacity now and before pandemic as this completely changes how much money Airlines make per seat sold.
