From affordable animal airfare to subscription-based flight services, the July 2018 travel trends reveal a dramatic shift in the way consumers are getting from one destination to the next.
On the one hand, air travel is becoming increasingly accessible for niche groups. For instance, not everyone wants to bring their pet on their vacation, but for those who do, it can be a nightmare to try and accommodate their four-legged friend. As a result, Silver Airways is now offering cheap, Fido Fares that allow owners to bring their pet onto a flight for just a small fee.
Another major change in the way consumers fly is the way they book their trips. For example, platforms such as Flightlist are making spontaneous trips easier to book, while Teleport subscriptions is making it cheaper to travel popular routes such as Los Angeles to San Francisco.
