International flights are expensive and scarce this summer. Here's how to plan your trip.

PHOENIX, Ariz. — If you're thinking of flying internationally from Phoenix this summer, finding a seat will be harder – and more expensive – than last year.

Data from AAA released in April showed international travel bookings increased more than 200% from 2022, and airfare is about 30% more expensive for international flights from the U.S.

The highest demand is for European and Canadian itineraries, according to AAA. They include destinations with flights out of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport: London and the Canadian cities of Vancouver, British Columbia; Calgary, Alberta; and Toronto, Ontario.

Airlines are taking notice.
