Prices for airline tickets rose by 4.1% over the year ending in October, following a 1.6% increase previously, according to data released November 13, 2024, by the U.S. Labor Department’s Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The BLS surveys pricing on thousands of goods and services as a part of their Consumer Price Index (see CPI data), which is a measure of inflation in the United States at the consumer level.
Airline ticket prices were significantly outpacing the overall rate of inflation, reaching as high as 26.5% in the month ending February 2023. However, they have slowed down over the last few months. As of now, the annual U.S. inflation is 2.6%.
