Air Travel Prices Soaring As Oil Prices Spike

Sticker shock at the pumps not just for cars, airlines are feeling it too with jet fuel prices up 80% since the war in Iran began. Travel Editor Peter Greenberg says expect to see a twenty percent increase next time you book a flight. He says you should book your summer travel now before prices go any higher. This week, United and JetBlue both raised the price for checked luggage. Earlier this year, American Airlines raised its price for a second checked bag and Southwest started charging for checked bags--the first time in its 50-year history.
