Average US domestic air fares rose 4.7% in the first three months of 2026 to $428, according to the US Transportation Department. This increase is largely attributed to the spike in oil prices in March, resulting from the US-Israeli war on Iran.
Without adjusting for inflation, air fares in the first quarter were up 5.7% over the prior three months and up 7.7% over the same period last year.
