Airfares to many of the top U.S. destinations have fallen as more head oversees, reports Wall Street Journal (WSJ). Deals to Denver caught headlines in the recent article, showing a record 13.6% drop in ticket prices according to Orbitz.com. Other cities with record-breaking deals on summer travel include Tampa, New York, Chicago, and Washington D.C.
After several years of dramatic airline price increases, this good news comes as a welcomed surprise. High fuel prices have been the culprit of years past, driving airlines to raise fares and fees, but today WSJ says,”Domestic travelers can thank fellow Americans who are dusting off their passports.”
Overall the number of domestic trips are down while sales overseas have seen just as equally great an increase. Airlines have adjusted accordingly. The ideal time to book is now. Summer airfare deals are sure to disappear, as growing confidence in consumer spending rises. For more on this report click here. Photo courtesy – jetsetz.com.
