Two and a half years since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we’re still feeling its effects on the travel industry in big ways.

This summer has been one of the most frustrating periods, as travelers have had to navigate canceled flights, lost luggage, escalating prices and a general sense of chaos. But will this trend persist into the holiday season?

Even more people will travel for the holidays this year

The majority of COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted, which really puts the virus out of a lot of people’s minds when they consider traveling. On most days, TSA checkpoint numbers are only slightly behind the equivalent day from 2019.

There was massive demand for travel this summer, and experts expect it to continue into the holiday season ? or, at least, to be greater than in 2021.

Travel issues will inevitably persist.

Unfortunately, the demand this summer exceeded the supply of pilots, so cancellations and delays were common and frustrating for millions of Americans. The demand is going to continue into this year’s holiday travel season, which is going to cause more cancellations and delays around Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Buy Travel Insurance to Protect Your Investment

Many travelers may have previously chosen not to ensure their flights and only requested travel insurance for packaged trips or cruises.

But now with increasing cancellations going on in the United States, Europe, and much of the rest of the world, this could be a good time to purchase travel insurance. Flight disruptions may have increased for different reasons such as strikes, staff shortages, weather, and mechanical delays. To plan your holiday travel call Tyus Tours & Travel at 866-547-5362.
