At airports this summer, it may almost appear as if the pandemic never happened.
"That's really been striking to see, especially because of where we were with air travel earlier in the pandemic and through much of the past two years," said Vivek Pandya, lead analyst at Adobe Digital Insights."Now we're seeing heavy demand coupled with high prices," which are not yet cooling red-hot demand for air travel.
Another factor is"a huge surge in demand for travel after two years of very, very depressed travel," said Berg, at a time when there when"there's less capacity out there than there was in 2019.
"It's going to be a 'Hunger Games' like battle to get the fares you want, the flights you want" this summer, Harteveldt said."And the concern I have is that there's absolutely no wiggle room, no flex room, in the industry if and when something goes wrong." "Because of the staffing shortage that exists, especially with pilots, airlines have scaled back the number of flights they're going to operate this summer in order to have a buffer of extra pilots, extra flight attendants, and extra airplanes, ready, in case you get a bad storm or something else that disrupts their operation," Harteveldt said.
"They have predictions 14 days out, you can get a fairly good idea certainly 7 days out, of what the weather is going to be," she said. "There's a good chance if you contact the airline because of these events, they will accommodate that [flight change] and they will put that [information] on their websites," she said.
