Happy Friday, everyone! I know you’ve been itching to find out what’s new in the world of fareology. Here’s the weekly graph of the Bing Travel 100 airfare index:
As you can see from the blue line, domestic airfares haven’t moved a whole lot in the last couple of weeks. That’s because all the action’s been going on in the U.S.-to-Europe markets.
After being astonishingly low throughout the spring, prices for these international trips have jumped back up over the past couple of weeks. Below you can see the trends in airfares to London, Paris and Rome:
This hits procrastinating summer travelers the worst. July trips have jumped the most, while prices into September and October have increased by much less.
Do these changes mean now’s the right time to buy tickets for the trip you’re planning? Use Bing Travel’s helpful tools to help you make smart travel decisions. And, for another perspective on what's going on with airfares, read a new Bing Travel article from The Wall Street Journal, The Middle Seat: Airfares Are Taking Off.
What sorts of fare changes will the coming days hold? Tune in next week to find out!
And, as always, if you have any questions, leave me a comment on the blog or send me a tweet.
