根据一份最新预测，今年假日出行的美国人可能会面临价格冲击，源于伊朗冲突推高的航空燃油成本将推动美国国内机票价格上涨。
机票聚合平台Hopper在一份分析报告中称，感恩节假期期间美国国内航班的平均往返票价为402美元，较去年同期上涨95美元。该公司数据显示，圣诞节前后的美国国内往返机票均价为452美元，较去年上涨85美元。
据Hopper透露，美国国内往返机票价格已较去年同期上涨31%，这反映出航空燃油成本居高不下。
该公司表示：“由于伊朗冲突导致航空燃油成本持续数月高企，感恩节和圣诞节机票价格已达到10年来的最高点。”
中东冲突已阻碍了该地区的石油出口，限制了全球供应。随着油价上涨，航空燃油和柴油等馏分油的成本也大幅攀升。为抵消这些成本，航空公司纷纷提高票价、加收乘客附加费并削减航线。
航空行业分析师表示，通常情况下，航空燃油成本占航空公司运营成本的比例最高可达30%。
据国际航空运输协会（IATA）数据，在今年2月底伊朗冲突爆发前，全球航空燃油均价约为每桶99美元。IATA援引标普全球能源普氏能源资讯的数据称，该价格在4月达到209美元的峰值，并在9月中旬达到195美元每桶。
Hopper的经济学家海莉·伯格在接受CBS新闻采访时表示：“当这一成本翻了一倍多时，航空公司不可避免地需要提高票价来抵消成本。”
国际石油基准布伦特原油价格周一曾短暂突破每桶101美元，随后回落至97.83美元，此前市场寄望于美伊达成协议结束冲突并重新开放霍尔木兹海峡。冲突爆发前，布伦特原油每桶价格约为72美元。
假日出行省钱攻略
由于只要航空燃油成本居高不下，机票价格预计将持续昂贵，旅游专家给出了一些假日出行的省钱建议。
如果可以，灵活选择目的地。 尽管许多人会在假期返乡，但前往热门度假目的地的游客可以通过比价来省钱。
伯格说：“可以考虑其他体验类似的不同目的地，”她补充道，这可以为往返机票节省数百美元。
在万圣节前预订机票。 无论消费者计划何时、前往何地旅行，都不要拖延预订——随着假日临近，机票价格预计不会下跌。
政治风险咨询机构欧亚集团（Eurasia Group）的能源分析师格雷戈里·布鲁表示，尽管中东地区的石油出口已回升至战前水平的75%以上，但原油价格回落仍需更长时间。
伯格表示，旅客应在万圣节前锁定感恩节和圣诞节的机票价格，她预计万圣节过后机票价格将大幅上涨。
选择非高峰时段出行。 伯格建议，在今年11月26日的感恩节之前，选择周一或周二出行，而非周三——预计周三将有大量旅客涌向全美各机场。她还建议，返程不要选择11月29日周日当天。
“你可以选择黑色星期五、周六上午、周一或周二出行，但如果在周日飞行，每张往返机票将多花250美元，”她说。
圣诞节前后的出行建议也是如此。避免在12月18日、19日、20日以及圣诞节后的周日12月27日出行。

Americans traveling for the holidays this year could face sticker shock as high jet fuel costs stemming from the Iran war drive up domestic airfares, according to a new forecast.
The average round-trip ticket for a flight within the U.S. during the Thanksgiving break is $402, up $95 from the same period a year ago, fare aggregator Hopper said in an analysis. Round-trip domestic airfares around Christmas are averaging $452, up $85 from last year, according to the firm.
Tickets for round-trip flights in the U.S. are already up 31% compared to the same period last year, reflecting elevated jet fuel costs, according to Hopper.
“Months of elevated jet fuel costs due to the conflict in Iran have contributed to Thanksgiving and Christmas airfares reaching 10-year highs,” the company said.
The conflict in the Middle East has choked oil flows from the region, constraining global supply. As oil prices have risen, the cost of distillates such as jet fuel and diesel has also jumped. To offset those costs, airlines have hiked fares, tacked on passenger surcharges and cut routes.
Typically, jet fuel costs account for up to 30% of an airline’s operating costs, according to airline industry analysts.
Before the Iran war began in late February, jet fuel averaged about $99 per barrel globally, according to the International Air Transport Association. It peaked at $209 in April and hit $195 a barrel in mid-September, IATA said, citing data from S&P Global Energy Platts.
“When you see a more than doubling of that cost, it’s inevitable that prices will have to increase to offset it,” Hopper economist Hayley Berg told CBS News.
The price of Brent crude, the international oil benchmark, briefly topped $101 a barrel on Monday before receding to $97.83 amid hopes of a deal between the U.S. and Iran to end the fighting and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. A barrel of Brent traded at roughly $72 before the war started.
How to save on holiday travel
With airline tickets expected to remain pricey so long as jet fuel costs remain high, travel experts have some tips for saving on holiday trips.
If possible, be flexible on your destination. While many people travel home during the holidays, those heading to warm destinations can save money by comparison shopping.
“Look at different destinations that offer a similar experience,” she said, adding that it can save hundreds of dollars on a round-trip ticket.
Book before Halloween. No matter when or where consumers plan to travel, don’t wait to book your trip — fares aren’t expected to drop as the holiday season approaches.
While oil flows from the Middle East have risen and now top 75% of pre-war volumes, crude prices will take longer to fall, according to Gregory Brew, an energy analyst at political risk consultancy Eurasia Group.
Berg said that travelers should lock in fares for both Thanksgiving and Christmas trips before Halloween, after which she expects fares to spike.
Travel off-peak. Berg advised flying on Monday or Tuesday before Thanksgiving, which falls on Nov. 26 this year, rather than Wednesday, when a crush of travelers is expected to flock to the nation’s airports. She also recommends returning any day other than Sunday, Nov. 29.
“You can travel on Black Friday, Saturday morning, Monday or Tuesday, but you’ll pay $250 more per round-trip ticket to fly on Sunday,” she said.
The same advice applies around Christmas. Avoid traveling on Dec. 18, 19, 20 and on Dec. 27, the Sunday after Christmas Day.
