Summer Travel Woes: High Prices and Busy Airlines
TL;DR
Flights within the U.S. are nearly 20% cheaper this summer than last, but international airfare is the highest it has been in over five years, with flights to Europe and Asia costing 36% and 62% more than last year, respectively. The surge in demand, high jet fuel prices, and limited capacity are causing the increase in airfare prices. While travel disruptions are expected, they are not anticipated to be as severe as in previous years.
