Airfare Reaches Seven-Year Low<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Summer Traveling Dreams Come True<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pining for paradise? That tropical getaway may be closer than you think. International flights to Cancun are averaging about $327. According to research by Hopper, a mobile application that uses big data to predict and analyze airfare, flight prices<\/a> will be the cheapest they\u2019ve been in seven years<\/em>. This price decrease is especially good for domestic travelers. An average domestic round-trip flight will cost about $207<\/strong>. Prices will peak in June<\/strong> with an average domestic round-trip flight costing $240.<\/p>\n

Airfare Decrease Continues<\/strong><\/p>\n

This price decrease seems to be an ongoing trend<\/a>: airfare prices are down 12%; more than 20% from two years ago.\u00a0 Earlier this year, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics<\/a> reported a decrease in air passenger fares for both international departures and arrivals.<\/p>\n

Oil prices<\/a> seem to be one main factor in airline ticket price drops.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not thinking of staying stateside for the summer, there could be hope for a cheap flight internationally.<\/p>\n

Hopper produced several tables<\/a> on which cities have seen increases and decreases in search demand, both domestically and internationally. Changes in search demand could create flash sales that will benefit travelers.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re interested in how your state\u2019s average airfare compares across the national average, be sure to check out Hopper\u2019s interactive map. <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
