LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- You may not have felt it yet, but travelers are starting to get a break this year!
Many Americans have tightened their belts and lots of foreign travelers are skipping the U.S., but recently many travelers checking in for summer vacations were pleasantly surprised by the prices.
The latest consumer price index shows airfares at the start of June were down 7.3% year to year.
International flights are down even more - showing a 13% decline in Europeans booking trips to the U.S. due to the current politics.
Now you can find reasonable fares for later on this summer, the fall, and even into the holiday season! October is a great time to travel if you don't have kids in school.
Unfortunately, hotel prices remain near the all time highs - up 50% from pre-pandemic times and have yet to show a significant drop.
