Airlines suffered a major crisis during the pandemic when international borders were closed, and no one was allowed to travel. In the few months since, carriers have attempted to recoup costs by enticing passengers with more affordable flights — but it seems like that may now be over. 

As we head into summer, prices are expected to rise as quickly as the temperature.

Hopper has been keeping an eye on air travel prices and have worked out that airfare for a domestic flight will cost around $277 for a return trip. The figure is a 5% increase, which is expected to escalate as we reach the warmer season. Expect an average ticket to cost about $350 during the summer. 

“Though prices are expected to remain lower than 2022 levels for late spring and summer, airfare is expected to be higher than pre pandemic levels, as costs remain high and demand continues to outstrip airline capacity,” Hopper stated.

What is causing the price hike, you ask? Well, it’s a solid a combination of high demand, inflation, and lower airline capacity. Talk about a triple threat…

May, for example, is expected to be super expensive, but prices are anticipated to drop somewhat as we fully enter bikini season.

One of the industries that have been the most severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic is, without a doubt, air travel. With restrictions making it nearly impossible to travel internationally and public health recommendations discouraging domestic travel, the industry has begun to take steps to try to sell tickets despite the uphill battle.

Nowadays, we are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to the pandemic. While in the next few months it still might be risky to try to buy tickets and plan a trip, airlines are generally offering tickets for up to a year in advance.

Believe it or not, this is the ideal time for buying airline tickets for travels even though things might not look very clear.

What we are seeing across the world is that airline ticket prices have dropped sharply because airlines are eager to sell tickets at any price. The good news is that even if something happens in the future and you aren’t able to travel, airlines offer up a refund policy that allows you to get your money back if government restrictions don’t allow your travel to happen.

Customers are thus protected from losing money, making buying airline tickets a low-risk proposition at a low price.

So, even though things might seem tough now, buying airline tickets for future travel is a great proposition with very little risk that you should take advantage of right now!

When booking flights, we’re always looking for the cheapest, most convenient options and we often end up spending tons of hours searching for airfare. We’ve all heard our fair share of tips for getting the best prices on flights, but which ones of these are actually true? Here are the most common myths about booking flights, so you don’t fall into these traps again.

Myth 1: Search Incognito

Sure, we know that companies use cookies to track our online habits, so why wouldn’t airlines track us? There’s actually no evidence that airlines or booking companies change the prices if you look at the same routes again. Prices change throughout the day based on demand, not by your browsing history.

Myth 2: Book on Tuesday

In the past, airline used to make it cheaper to fly on Tuesdays, but this isn’t happening anymore. The pricing is determined by historical and current demand, seasons, weather, and events.

Myth 3: There’s a Perfect Time to Book

Airfares don’t change that much until about 21 days before a flight as 21 days before a flight is considered last-minute, so the prices rise. The best time to book is usually two to three months ahead.

Myth 4: Websites Can’t Predict Prices

Websites that predict prices are just guessing the prices based on historical pricing and they don’t count for spikes in demand or events that change the prices.

Myth 5: There’s a Best Booking Website

Prices vary from site to site because third-party websites buy tickets in bulk, so you’ll have to search many websites and meta-search engines to get the best price.
