restrictions. The demand is expected to carry into the holiday season, AAA forecasts air travel to rise nearly 8% compared with last year.
The cost of flying is also expected to increase. AAA found that airfare in October rose 3.5% and was 43% more expensive than last year. For those who have not made it home and are in a financial crunch, relying on points and miles helps to cover the cost. "I used all my points and it was still around $670, which is crazy. Without my points it would've been well over $1,000," said Alexandra Cohen, a college student going home for the first time since last year.
