The cost of air travel has increased as jet fuel prices rise and the war in Iran continues, with both the U.S. and Iran planning to blockade the Strait of Hormuz. Major airlines, including Delta, United, American, Southwest, and JetBlue, have also experienced high baggage and ticket prices. The average global jet fuel price rose to $209 per barrel last week, up from roughly $99 when the war started. The impact of this price hike is already affecting passengers' pockets. Economists predict that airlines will continue to face soaring prices per gallon of jet fuel as long as the Strait remains blocked.
