Iran War Impacts Canadian Airlines: Higher Fuel Prices, Fewer Flights

The war in Iran is hitting Canada's airlines hard through skyrocketing jet fuel prices and everyday

travelers are starting to feel the pinch on. Cheaper tickets and reward points bookings. WestJet

is slapping a temporary $60 fuel surcharge on companion voucher flights starting April 8th while

cutting back routes through. April and May to save cash. Air Canada has bumped up fairs already

and might trim some regional lines and air transit added surcharges for Europe trips

plus higher prices on. Busy dates. Industry pros say folks using discount fairs or loyalty

points will notice the hike first since regular tickets already bake in fuel fees that can.

Run half the cost or more. A $60 to $100 bump there might not sting as bad for most.

Travel experts warned peak seasons could get messy with full flights and tough rebukings,

like those recent Mexico strandings that left people waiting. Days for seats. They stress buying

travel insurance now to cover your back. All eyes are on how this conflict plays out,

but higher costs and fewer flights are locking in for Canadian skies right now.
