Holiday travel prices hit 10-year high amid rising fuel costs · 1 source tracked

Holiday travel prices are projected to reach a decade-high this year, with Thanksgiving flights up 31% and Christmas flights up 23% compared to last year. This surge is primarily driven by elevated jet fuel costs, which airlines are passing on to consumers. While Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales are expected, travel experts suggest that discounts may only bring prices back to last year's levels, and often these deals are bundled with lodging or have inflated base prices.
