The average cost of a flight is higher this year than last, with fewer workers and fewer flights adding to the issue.
"I've passed up a couple opportunities," traveler Gabriel Harley said."I had some free time earlier this year, and I was gonna go out to California from Indianapolis, and it was just cost prohibitive."This time last year, government statistics show the average cost of a plane ticket in the U.S. was just over $200. Now, it's $294 — a 43% increase.
Add labor disputes and fuel costs on top of it all, and it's a messy time to be in the business of air travel. "We're believing that a lot of the lower gas prices in other parts of the country is actually contributing to the lower national average," said Ragina Ali, spokesperson for AAA."However some states on the East coast, Maryland included, have actually seen a slight increase over the last week or so."
