Prices for holiday travel are sharply increasing due to inflation and the COVID-19 pandemic.

Lauren Due was at Newark Liberty International Airport to break down the prices for this holiday season.

According to Nerd Wallet, holiday getaway prices have fluctuated significantly since the pre-pandemic period of 2019. For example, airfare costs are up 9%, and lodging is up 12%. Both of those numbers were down in 2020 but rebounding even higher. Food is also up 19%, and entertainment is up 11%.

For a family of four to go to Orlando it would cost around $4,000 in addition to food and tickets to Disney or Universal.

A road trip to Vermont, and a week stay is around $1,500, not including the costs of ski lift tickets, food and gas.

Traveling out of Miami to the Bahamas could be around $5,000 including food.

Despite the prices, Newark Liberty was filled with a steady number of travelers looking forward to the holidays.

Mikah and Jordan from Alabama say traveling is well worth the cost.

“Our round trip was like $600 per plane ticket and probably another grand for the hotel. So almost at $2,000 and then we probably spent another $2,000 in the city,” they said. “Close to the holidays, it kind of hits us, but it was worth it.”
