Both Alaska Airlines and Delta Airlines have also announced some expansions to the sizes of their overhead bins. However, as the high demand for travel returns, prices are likewise up.

Airfare prices grew significantly during April, to the tune of 18.6%.

The reasoning behind this boils down to both inflation and higher gas costs. The latter also applies to jet fuel, hence why tickets for both domestic and international flights are more expensive.

Going forward, Americans should expect travel prices to at least stay at their current rates, if not increase. At this time, there is no telling when inflation will wane or even begin to decrease.

Nevertheless, as airlines see business booming, they are clearly seizing the moment and looking to improve experiences for customers in the long term.
