The cost of domestic airfare has expanded “significantly” throughout 2022, rising 47% since January, as per recent Adobe Analytics information.

As a matter of fact, May denoted the fourth month in a row when costs rose over pre-pandemic levels, as indicated by Adobe, which estimates direct consumer transactions from six of the top 10 U.S. airlines.
