As tensions between the U.S., Israel, and Iran impact global oil supplies, travelers face rising flight costs and potential availability issues for spring and summer trips. The International Energy Agency warns that Europe might soon experience jet fuel shortages, leading airlines to cut flights. With jet fuel prices soaring, airlines like Air Canada, United, Delta, and others have increased fees or reduced routes. Experts advise booking flights early, as waiting could be risky due to ongoing conflicts affecting oil flow through the Strait of Hormuz. Travelers are encouraged to book flights that fit their schedules and budgets but avoid restrictive Basic Economy fares.
