Navigating the High Costs and Crowds of Summer Travel
TL;DR Summary
Airfares for summer travel are mostly up due to high demand and limited airline capacity, especially for international flights. Flights to Europe are averaging 34% more than they cost last year, while flights to Asia and Oceania are even more expensive. Domestic flights are seeing slightly lower fares but remain higher than pre-pandemic pricing. Limited airline capacity, staffing issues, and high jet fuel prices are driving prices up.
