If you're flying in summer 2026, don't delay your tickets. Some routes have already been lengthened, and prices on certain destinations may rise 10–20% — not everywhere, but noticeably. Planes are flying around some zones: more fuel, longer in the air, costlier for the airline — and ultimately for you. What I do myself: book earlier, choose a fare with rebooking options, and watch connections carefully — miss one by an hour and you lose a whole day at the airport. Nobody is forcing mass cancellations; flights are operating. The market has simply become less predictable. My message is the same: you only live once. If a trip matters, don't wait for it to 'get cheaper and easier' — sometimes it won't. The memories will stay.
