Yup — you can count on extremely high airfares for at least the next 30-45 days …..but come fall watch for lower fares and one or two day fare specials — airlines are already starting to finalize plans to lure “an abundance” of pleasure class domestic travelers back on board to make up for the big loss of “socially distant” business class travelers. Many hotels will jump on board too with good special rates based on longer stays — the overnight lodger might still get socked!! Be flexible with plans and look for short air travel and room specials during the week — But don’t expect socially distancing on planes — anyway, medical experts say keeping that middle seat empty has no COVID prevention value!!!
