Travel abroad is poised to be cheaper than in 2024, experts said. Domestic travelers may not be as lucky.
About 51% of Americans say flight cost will determine their destination choices this year, according to Skyscanner.
Domestic fares in January are about 12% higher relative to the same month last year, according to Hopper, a travel site. They're expected to stay above 2023 and 2024 levels until at least halfway through the year. Meanwhile, long-haul fares to Europe, South America, Oceania and Asia are flat or lower to start the year, Berg said.
Hotel room rates advertised in Asia-Pacific are expected to be 11% lower in the first half of 2025 relative to the same period of 2024, according to Like Asia, travel to the Caribbean is also the cheapest in three years, with airfare down 17% compared with 2024, according to Kayak.Globally, hotel prices will vary widely, and established locales such as Paris, London, and parts of Asia such as Tokyo and Bangkok, Thailand, are "expected to reflect strong demand," Melanie Fish, vice president of global public relations for Expedia Group, wrote in an e-mail.
For example, it's generally cheaper to fly midweek. Hotel stays have a similar dynamic. The bottom line: Weekends are probably pricier.
