These rewards are perfect for an era when Americans across America are experiencing a rise in airfare fair prices.
Americans are seeing an increase in the cost of airline tickets, and more flights are being cancelled than ever.
Airlines have continued to fluctuate and are among the companies that are still struggling to return to their pre-Covid-19 pandemic performance.
Along with an increase in demand, airlines are also dealing with rising fuel costs and labor shortages.
“The demand is off the charts,” Delta Air Lines Inc. CEO Ed Bastian said of the increases, viaBloomberg.
“It’s coming with leisure, it’s coming with premium customers, it’s coming with business, it’s coming with international. It doesn’t matter what the category is.”
