WSJ What’s News · How Summer Travel Is Changing · 3 Aug 2025 podcast

And then at the same time, there was so much uncertainty that people thought, oh, no, maybe my finances won't really be in a good spot later this year.

But I should probably scale back or take a different type of trip if I am going to travel this summer.

Overall, people feel more optimistic, but that might not carry over to travel directly.

So the conference board released its sentiment survey.

And it said that vacation intentions were down overall and slightly more consumers planned to travel abroad, but intentions to travel in the US went down.

So basically, people are feeling maybe a little bit better overall.

The tariffs haven't quite affected their finances or everyday spending yet, but they're still being cautious about the big ticket items.

This has been the summer of the road trip.

What we saw is over Memorial Day and over Fourth of July, tons of traffic all over the country.

The timing of those holidays meant that people had a built-in day off with July 4th on a Friday, Memorial Day on a Monday, of course, and a lot of people chose to take a road trip.

or stay closer to home.

So another thing that has happened is because fewer people are flying domestically, the airlines have had to drop prices.

So you have seen deals on domestic flights this summer because they need to fill the seats.

It depends on the airline.

Delta and United...

have been really optimistic.

And these are two big global airlines that make a lot of money from their premium cabins.

So they're upcharging for nicer seats, premium economy or business class.

And people are paying for those seats too.

They're not just getting upgrades because they're loyalty members.
