The expected increase in airline fuel costs is pushing consumers to start "hoarding" plane tickets in advance.

International crude oil prices continue to fluctuate at high levels, and the cost pressure of airlines is accelerating towards passengers. Recently, many domestic airlines have raised international fuel surcharges on international routes, with increases generally exceeding 50%, and some routes even doubling. Although the domestic market is still in the traditional off-peak season after the holiday, with the expectation of continued strength in fuel surcharge increases, many consumers have started to book travel tickets for two weeks or even a month in advance, trying to lock in the current relatively low travel costs.
