The soaring cost of air travel for solo travelers
Air travel is as popular as ever now and is set to become more expensive. This should be raising alarm bells for any solo traveler. So what is behind this sudden increase in air fares?
The number one reason is fuel costs and the rising cost of oil prices. This cost is passed on from the airline directly to the traveler whether it be in the form of a surcharge or simply raising ticket prices.
The thing with solo travelers and travelers in general is that if you are going to go traveling around South America or Southeast Asia, you going to whatever. Even if the price of the ticket goes up by $100.
The airlines are wise to this and will keep pushing up prices accordingly. Supply and demand has a big impact as well.
Some travel experts predict that on some popular routes prices could double over the next year. Good news for the airline but not so great for the solo traveler!
