Holiday travel is shaping up to be one of the most expensive seasons in years.
According to Hopper, Thanksgiving and Christmas airfare are currently tracking at 10-year highs, with domestic Thanksgiving flights averaging around $402 and Christmas flights around $452. And it’s not just airfare - overall U.S. travel costs are up 9% from this time last year.
When you’re investing more in the flight, the hotel, the meals, the gifts, and the time away, it makes sense to think about priorities that make or break your experience.
For some travelers, that means the better seat.
The nonstop flight.
The hotel in the right location.
And transportation that’s already handled.
Because when your trip costs this much, spending your time worrying about parking, airport pickup, flight delays, or whether your ride will actually show up doesn’t make much sense.
Metropolis is one of those travel expenses that’s really about what you get back: time, convenience, reliability, and peace of mind.
The holidays are expensive enough. Your travel day doesn’t need to feel like another thing to manage.
