If you’re at home while everyone you know is on the same beach in Capri and you don’t have an overseas trip planned for aeons, here’s one thing that will (read: won’t) cheer you up… The price of air travel will go up “without doubt” as fuel costs rise, an industry boss has warned. Willie Walsh from the International Air Transport Association says the war in Ukraine made the high demand for oil coming from the end of COVID lockdowns even worse. It’s a double whammy for jetsetters as airports and airlines struggle to deal with high numbers returning to travel. Layoffs during the pandemic and ongoing illness have created many blockages in the system and huge queues at airports. But if you’re well jell of your overseas travelling mates’ adventures, don’t flex your schadenfreude muscle too soon… Reports say domestic travellers are experiencing high rates of lost/late luggage, and delays/cancellations are at near-record levels (paywall). Another staycation, then?
