March 11, 2026·2 days ago·via TravelPulse

The war in Iran triggers the largest travel price increase in more than a year, with jet fuel costs soaring as oil tops $100 per barrel. Airlines pass on 20-30% operating expenses, doubling fares to Asia - Frankfurt-Singapore jumps from 400-800 euros to over 2,000 euros round-trip. Easter and summer holidays face even steeper hikes, though European routes see milder rises. Gulf hubs like Dubai suffer daily $450 million losses from cancellations and airspace closures, stranding passengers.
