Airfare is surging as higher fuel prices and strong travel demand drive up the cost of flights.
Consumers spent $8.8 billion on domestic U.S. airline tickets last month, up 28% compared with March 2019, before the Covid pandemic, while fares surged 20%, according to data from the Adobe Digital Economy Index that was published Tuesday. Bookings only rose 12%.
Higher fares are one of the latest examples of inflation, which is hitting consumers at gas stations, supermarkets and in the housing market.
