Rising fuel costs are turning travel plans into travel woes

Travel Woes The price of gas in the US has seen a 50% increase since the war in Iran began back in March, with the national average sitting around $4.53/gal. That's causing headaches for Americans who are making plans for summer travel. Jet fuel prices have also been on the rise, which is leading to increased costs of airfare. Thursday on the "Sound of Ideas," we'll dig into these price increases and how they are impacting the consumer. Will travelers delay trips in hopes of fuel prices coming down? Or will they cancel trips altogether? Along with the increased fuel costs, Spirit Airlines shuttered recently, which will lead to even more complications in the airline industry.
