Worth a quick look is the recent release from Travelocity of how Americans' travel plans this summer (given all the economic changes) have matched what they said they would do in January. Quick takes:
- 55% of Americans are still planning a summer trip despite gas prices and economic weakness
- Average length of stay for a summer trip has gone from 7 to 6 days.
Travelers are booking 4.3% earlier than they did in 2007.
Wondering what fuel prices have done to airfares? Less than you might expect. According to Travelocity, summer fares are up 13% versus 2007 -- diesel fuel prices are up 39% over the same time frame.
