☆ Airline ticket prices will be cheaper in the fall compared to the summer
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-13 | by ( Nathaniel Meyersohn | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +3 min

But don’t worry if you missed out — falling ticket prices could make fall the better time to fly. Airfare to top international destinations will drop in the fall as well, with prices to Europe down 31% from summer peaks — nearly $330 off ticket prices. Known as “shoulder season,” airfare typically drops in the fall as demand cools off after the busy summer months. The three major US international airlines — American, Delta and United — all saw a surge in international traffic in recent months and added additional service to meet demand. One factor that could cause ticket prices to increase, however, is rising fuel prices.

LIVERPOOL, England — The announcement rang out around Goodison Park before kickoff, and then again ahead of the second half. In a clear, commanding voice, it informed Everton’s fans that they were not, under any circumstances, to invade the field or throw objects at the players on it. With Everton’s long-held place in England’s Premier League hanging by a fraying thread, it was reasonable to assume that Sunday afternoon would end in one of two outcomes: ecstasy or outrage. Leeds lost, Leicester won; both were relegated anyway. Everton, for the second time in two seasons, clung to its place in the elite by the quicks of its fingernails.

Investors should buy American Airlines as the air carrier's valuation is too good to pass up, according to JPMorgan. Analyst Jamie Baker upgraded the airline's shares to overweight from neutral. Baker said this reflects a long-term shift in which "the Big 3" airlines — American, Delta and United — have seized the high ground from the "discounters." Nonetheless, JPMorgan stated that the "Big 3" airlines have outperformed its index of Discounter carriers due to their international exposure. Baker said that 2022's domestic travel renaissance has now reversed, driving down year-over-year domestic revenue growth to the low single digits.

Air passengers should expect more travel chaos this year, according to the CEO of United Airlines. Airlines now need more pilots and aircraft compared to pre-pandemic days, the CEO said. He thinks passengers should expect more travel chaos this year, as airlines don't yet have the capacity to operate all the flights they are planning. A pilot shortage, higher employee sick rates, and outdated technology at most airlines continue to weigh on airlines, he said. United Airlines reported a profit of $843 million in the fourth-quarter of 2022 — that's about 30% higher than the pre-pandemic levels seen in the similar period of 2019, thanks to robust demand for travel.
