Consumers are becoming increasingly more hesitant to purchase airline tickets as spending dropped by more than a billion dollars in April. <\/p>\n

Last month, online spending for domestic flight bookings totaled $ 7.8 billion, a 13% decline from the $ 8.8 billion spent in March, according to new data from Adobe. <\/p>\n

NO MORE CHEAP FLIGHTS: DOMESTIC TRAVEL PRICES UP OVER 20% FROM PRE-PANDEMIC LEVELS, REPORT SAYS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Overall, bookings declined by 17%, according to Adobe. <\/p>\n

Online spending was still 23% higher compared with April 2019, however, bookings were only up 5%. The wide gap, according to Adobe, underscores how consumers have been shelling out “considerably more for the same amount of service.” <\/p>\n

From March to April, prices alone increased 8%. <\/p>\n

Prices in March were up 20% compared with 2019, and prices in February were up 5%. <\/p>\n

“An uncertain economic environment is pushing some consumers to reorient their travel plans,” Adobe Digital Insights lead analyst Vivek Pandya said in a statement. <\/p>\n

There are some indications though “that some have chosen to delay their travel plans rather than to cancel them outright,” Pandya added. <\/p>\n

For instance, Memorial Day weekend bookings declined 13% compared to this point in 2019. However, bookings for the summer, between June and August, are already up 2% compared with 2019. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
