coming out of the pandemic and the fact that we are headed into the spring and summer travel season. >> airfare is getting more expensive. gas prices getting worse. if i have an option, i would stay home. reporter: while they are paying more to travel the country, it's nothing compared to the increased airfare prices that may be coming if airlines push ticket prices for travelers higher in an attempt to cover the increased fuel cost. >> if we see these over $100 per barrel oil lasting a few months, i would expect to see that show up in airfares midsummer. reporter: aaa tells me that air bookings through february are up to hundred percent since last year but still down 32% since 2019. a fair hike due to the highly old prices would be a major blow to airlines that are currently in heavy competition to welcome travelers back.
