Would you believe that fuel prices, labor shortages, and a lack of aircraft contribute to the high cost of flights? The US Labor Department reported a 43% spike in airline CPI in September. Airlines for America said that ticket prices were still low last year, yet CPI airfares increased by 8% from September 2018 and September 2019.
