Looks like summer airfares are continuing to move upward, according to Priceline’s Airfare Index for the week of May 17. Priceline’s air index uncovers the 30 air routes where fares have either increased or decreased the most compared to the previous week.
I regularly book trips from Washington Reagan to Boston Logan. When I checked this week for a flight during mid-June, I was shocked. Prices have skyrocketed on that route.
These Priceline data back up my shock with statistics.
